Dec 4, 2007 Thread starter #3 researchguru Structural Nov 2, 2007 10 If by flags, you mean "little triangles" (excuse my ignorance), then yes, there are flags. OK, so then that portion left "loose" will be welded at a later time during the assembly process. Pls correct me if I am wrong. Thanks alot. Upvote 0 Downvote
