Default Subframes dont fit right?

These are the subframes that i have:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/94-95...spagenameZWDVW

It doesnt fit to where both of the actual subframe surfaces sit flush. If i was to weld two pieces of steel to the end that does not sit flush, would it be stable?

I dont have a digital camera. The back sits flush, the front touches but is wedged.

I bought the same ones from Blue Ovaland there was about a 1/2 gap........I know exactly what your talking about and no picture for me is necessary....here is what I did to get them to sit flush......I marked where the bend needed to be and I heated them up and bent them to the contour needed and ran a full weld on both sides and it was rock solid when I got done and they work great....most other ones you pay good money for are all ready made to the contour of the frame rails
