Thank you. I am trying to keep my welds nice but 40+ year old steel with oily gunk hiding in the seams has thrown me a curve just when I think I am doing alright. I may just try following your path.

Everyone else's Ridetech cap looks more flush than mine did when I mocked it up last Christmas. It looks like it fills the factory recess nicely and ends up pretty flush. Perhaps I just need to bite the bullet, drill and cinch it down to get the full effect?
