I appreciate the insight. Now that I am sitting here looking at it, Jdl, you are correct I should run a piece across to the other side. What do you think, If bolted another small plate to the other side and instead of welding that all together as one unit, I could additionally bolt a stout piece of flat stock from one plate to the other one side. Then when we do cut out the cat if there were any amount of deflection from the expansion joints, this would help to keep everything even more tolerant. I am not an engineer by any stretch of the imagination, just trying to keep the ole gray matter in ops chk mode. Do you thing that would be enough? Again thanks for your input. Steve
