More A-Frame Improvements

 Around the jack there is rust, and structure missing.  Improvement needed.
 The bottom of the A-Frame is only 3" deep, so that will be strengthened to match the rest of the new deeper 4" frame.
The new metal hold-down plate is now welded to the frame.  It will be riveted to the front aluminum skin - strength and stability the old Airstream way!  Actually the 1950's trailers often had the hold-down plates bolted to the frames.  The welds are much stronger and another Colin Hyde improvement.
 New tube Steel to be welded on to reinforce the A-Frame.
New tube welded with a new jack plate.
