First, you have to carefully cut the top of the stays to the correct angle:
Next, you have to braze a thin steel plate to the stay and then carefully file it away until you achieve the required shape:
Finally, and with great care, braze the whole assembly on to the Seat Tube Lug:
A lot of work went into that, but I am very happy with the way it turned out.
