Welding procedure......

[skippy]

I finally found the time to finish my truss and ram mount. It is amazing how many hours you can wrap up in something so simple....

Is the bottom of the mount open or did you tap or weld nuts under the plate?

 

[skippy]

There are nuts welded to the plate and it is fully boxed with internal gussets and bracing as well

I used to worry about this also. I have sticked the cast before. Then I welded a bunch with the mig and never had issues so I just get the cast part as clean as possible Wire wheel and sanding with flapper and or 120 grit. Then pour the coals to it with the mig. Stitch the tube side. You have enough welded to the tube it will hold anyway IMHO
Nice work well thought out.
