the 1/8" thick fishplates are there to spread the load. the stock crossmember is only 3/16" thick, and butting the 1/8" thick tubing directly to it would eventually cause cracks from stress. by welding the 1/8" tubing to the 1/8" plates it helps to transition the stress load to the thinner stock crossmember.

I did mine the same way in regards to the plate on the front. I also have the flux wire, somewhat messy, but hey, it works. I have another welder with the gas set up, but I haven't got it in operation yet. Poor man gots to do what he gots to do, lol.
