That is pretty awesome, and you fabrication skills are top notch, but that shit still scares me.
Looks great as always though Aaron.
What is the bushing material of choice for these, monoballs I hope?
-
I approve.. large radius tubing is strong like bull.
-
Looks good, I just don't trust my tig welding that much yet.
-
I want to make something like that for my ride. ;D
How hard is it to find an inexpensive source of chrome-moly steel?
-
What's with the four useless poll options, Aaron? There is only one true answer, sir.
-
make a set of EG front uprights that don't weigh 75Lbs
-
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
THIS. i would love to remove some serious unsprung weight in my eg.
Aaron, do you mind showing the jig you used to make those?
-
there really isn't much to show on the jig. it is just two posts for the bushing sleeves, then a couple pieces of angle for the other holes... all mounted on a plate of steel so that i can do both the left and the right on the same jig.
-
Looks good :noel:
-
do some eg shit I would buy it
-
Aaron how much would it be to have you machine the required bits to make these? (not the tubing) I'm interested if the price is right. LMK

it depends on how many sets you want matt.

The Phone Book.

-

-
Aaron, kind of off topic, but have you ever flux core welded anything?
-
now thats some nice fab work. but where is the jb weld and duct tape?

Phone books are paper, asshole.
-

no, and i'm not too good with a mig, so it'd probably look just as good as anyone else's flux core.
-
Ha ha. We should do it as an experiment sometime.

CMon JD is it NOT the rHMT way? :P
