Making the Battery Hold-Downs

I cut several pieces of metal for the battery hold-downs. The construction details are as follows:

All angle iron and barstock is 1/8" thick and 3/4" wide.

Front rack:
2 pieces of angle iron, 27 1/2" long with holes
2 pieces of iron bar, 7 1/16" long with holes

Trunk rack:
2 pieces of angle iron, 36" long , with notches described here
2 pieces of iron bar, 13 3/16" long with holes

Firewall rack:
2 pieces of angle iron, 27 1/2" long with holes
2 pieces of angle iron, 26" long (no holes)
2 pieces of iron bar, 14 1/16" long with holes

All items listed above "with holes" have a 11/64" hole drilled in each end, centered from side to side and 3/8" in from the end.

This description is terse as I'm trying to get the whole pile of steel out the door today for powder-coating. I'm an electrical engineer by training, so I'll be happy to get all this metalwork out of the way.
