Drill the holes in the Plate first besure to lay them out and center pumch where each one will go.
Start with a small drill bit about 3/16 then move up to 5/16 then 3/8 then 7/16 then 1/2 then 5/8 or 1/32 over 5/8 if you don't want to drive the bolts in for a tight fit.
Put the plate up against the frame and hold it steady with clamps. Now to center the hole that you want to drill use the largest drill that you used in the plate to drill a small center hole in each bolt hole. Now start all over with the small drills and work up to the largest. This method will take less time and a lot less effort to get the holes drilled. another way would be to rent a magnetic base drill press it will make life real easy but the cost will go up some.
