Narrowing 8 3/4 details

If you check the factory housings, 99% of them are not straight. If I was gonna go to all the trouble to narrow a housing, I sure wouldn't use the angle iron method. Will it work? maybe.... is it done correctly? not a chance. I use a jig, and I usally spend more time straigtning the tubes than I do welding......

I certainly agree that using a jig is the "correct" way to do it. Unfortunately not everyone has one so we have to improvise.
