If that is the case you can bulldog it to a 45 degree rearward slant like all these knuckleheads seem to do lately and no whistle. ROFL Rock On!

Thanks and nice looking rig!

I just met a guy who has a shop and can fab stuff so I'm going to talk through options with him.

I just plugged the holes using rubber stoppers from ace hardware. Looks OK and the whistle is gone. And it was cheap! Thanks all for your help/suggestions.

Mines whistling as well. Thinkin about cutting the bottom out of the gusset and putting plexy on both sides lit with some color led and making the bottom piece bolt in.
