    Thats sounds good if the bracket can be made to wrap around the tube ,but thats not always the case.I was thinking I could make some 12"X12" by 1/4" thick sqaure plates one for each side.They should be attached to the rear end.Then I could measure each corner to corner ,across the rear end .This should tell me if the ends are out of square.How do you guys check for straightness?You would also need to use a heavy bar the inside diameter of the tubes and run this through the legth of the tube?
