Jim, that's right. The main rails are made of 5 inch tube with openings only on the ends. If you look at the photos in post 215, above, you can see the front end of the rail. That rail will eventually need a radius or diagonal cut to allow space for the banana wraps. You can see that radius angle in the second photos which shows the front end of the old frame. I'll need to figure out a way to seal the front of the main rails but still allow access for the wiring to the jack. Here's a little better photo of the wiring route and radius cut in the front end of the old frame.
