Wayne,  I have a couple of suggestions.  First if your fixture is
accurate, do not apply heat to it.  Welds in heavy wall such as .125  do
not need stress relieving.   Secondly, the tubing  you are using for the
engine mount is too heavy.   Switch to .049 wall thickness in every
case. -----  Jerry

Where the hell did that come from????????

You can't say that without knowing what the design looks like.
0.049 wall may be too thin in some cases. Depends on the loads on
the tubes and the exact configuration of the mount.
