inner slug. Leave a 1/8-1/4 gap between the tubes so the weld will weld the ends of
the two tubes to the inner tube slug. The upper end of the door tube should be located
in the middle of the two bolt holes that the original door bars attached to the B-pillar.
Tack weld the door tube to the B-pillar.
