Subframe connectors......

if strength is the ultimate goal, I'd probably section the connector then to conform to the bump. Thats probably easier to do as it can be cut on the bench and wont degrade the strength of the crossmember. trick is to get a nice contour so your not filling gaps with weld.
Thank you. I'm pretty sure for my application, either way would be fine but I'd rather have too much than too little. Then there's my OCD that I have to contend with where it has to be level and square, and not to forget my it having to look good.......
