hey guys, i'm pretty close to installing my TNT frame stiffeners. The only thing i'm unsure of is how large to drill the holes for the rosette welds. Right now, they are at 1/2", which I think is what most people have done. However, i've seen others go all the way up to 3/4". Is 1/2" a good size for 3/16" thick plate? i don't weld, so I'm not certain on this. Everything else is good to go, just needed to check on this last thing.

Recently I used a hair smaller than 1/2" and it worked out great, easy to weld etc..prior I had used 3/4" when doing my sleeves, way too big in hindsight.
