I'm trying a few different methods of making control arm jigs. The upper rear arm jig is MDF with bolted-on steel brackets. The rear lower jig is made from steel plate with tacked on steel brackets. The steel jig avoids the fire problem but the material is costly and not as flat as I'd like. It does have the advantage of being reusable. The MDF jig is very cheap and light. It can't stand up to much welding heat, though.
