    Don,
    Are you talking about an 8" x 8" (approx) triangular gussett ,with holes, from the exisiting side tubes up to the main tube? or are you talking like a piece of 1/4 x 3 flat with holes angled from the existing side tubes into the main tube 8" forward of all the tube connections?

    John
    No, I would just make two triangular shaped plates, looking at your pictures maybe 4 wide and 6-8 inches long (whatever will fit from the side tubes to fill the gap on either side, and run up along the main tongue tube.)

    If you look at this picture they would go from the cross tubes forward slightly.

    Don

    If I had one of those fancy programs I could circle the area for you.
