It would be much easier to get a flush fit of the gussets with the cross member instead of getting all those miniscule mismatches, the plans give the cross member widths accurately enough to do this, you could use a mass produced standard size gusset instead of individually fitting each one, the gussets may have to be slightly oversize to allow for fitting...............BUT, I haven't tried it so it may not work.
Chris Johnston May not be a bad idea for the gussets on the verticles where they attach to the top longeron. I think that you will have to individually cut the rest of the gussets to get a 90 percent surface contact. Actually I got a lot of enjoyment getting those gussets as close as I could get them, "individually"!
