Well I have bit the bullet sold the fron Weltmeister 22mm bar, and picked up a Nascar Hand me down.
As of today all the parts are in except the bearings, I will have them tomorrow, TSC (Tractor Supply Company) has the parts I need. I liked smart racings graphs so much I had to make my own.

Ross Perot, would be proud of me. Attached image(s) |

And I finally cut the arms off, they are now down to 2 lbs. a piece (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
Aaron, I don't think I will slot the arm, I would like to get them lighter yet, and the slot would weaken the part. I intended after this season is over to take the arms to work, and relieve the arm of a little more of its girth. Here is how my bar jig worked out for choping the end of. I use a Small Miter saw as my metal chop saw. It is cheaper, lighter, and more acurate than a 14" chop saw. I use a blade made by MK Morse This thing is as nice as they say. $42.00 well spent, the saw was only $10 bucks more. Attached image(s) |
