challenge brace angle kit dimensioning
(OP)
Our fabrication shop encounters a problem. I assigned them 1 1/2" gage angle but according to the AISC standard said we need at least 1 3/4". Shop's said it's too narrow to drill by machine and has to use hand drill for the gage. I have no problem approve shop to 1 3/4" but I am afraid that it will affect other right and left dimensions of the angles. How do I make this decision and wonder if any of you encounter similar situation and how do you deal with it so that I will meet shop's objective and engineering.

Let me know if I am missing something?
Good Luck

I am surprise that I am posting a question that I am not too sure if I state all details for someone to understand it. But you did, you answer it right, I also think 1.5 inch gage is too small. I use 1.75" gage instead. I don't know if it will affect the right and left dimensions to adjusted location for the nut& bolt slots.
