Finished the semi tube frame front today and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out
First, I fabbed a crossbrace up front over the front a-arm mounting points (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134350910.jpg) detail shot of the x-brace (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134350964.jpg) welded in (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1134350990.jpg) next, I welded scab plates to the firewall and fabbed the upright braces (these were a PITA to make) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1137380718.jpg) for the bolt in diagonal, I welded little tubes into the upright braces to fit an M10 bolt (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1137380772.jpg) bracket of the diagonal brace (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1137869451.jpg) again, and the second bracket still in pieces (3mm plate, M10 nut and piece of square tubing ) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1137869473.jpg) testfitting it to the upright brace...

I can jack up the left front and the right will follow along nicely there's about half an inch deflection, but this is still without a cage (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads/blog-1137869539.jpg) more detailed pics in my blog (click the blog-button at the bottom of this post) |
