On my wishbone should i make the ends on the axle adjustable Or just the one on the front?

Some tube work I did last night im about a quarter of the way done and thats not the canti mount. I just welded that there to see where the pivot point should be.





More to come today!

Thanks guy's.

What would you change on the cantilever bars?

Posted: Wednesday, January 18, 2012 9:58 PM  

Both sides are the same now!

If it were me personally, i would not expose the weld. I would have your spanners that bridge the two pieces welded from the inside only, and where the holes are, no tube going accross, have the pieces that span side to side in between the spaces where there are holes, so when you look at it from the outside, there is no weld exposed, nor tube spannine each hole.

I made some link bars and cantilever bars just like this years ago, and i hated the exposed weld. Its hard to get a good looking weld in that spot, then when you try to grind it down, it comes out lumpy.

Thats just me, its functionally great, and i love it, im just not a bit fan of how the cantilever bars look, it dosent compliment the rest of the work youve put into it, in my opinion.

I see, yeah your right about them being lumpy when i grind them down, There still not done im going to grind them down fill the spots in and ream the hole out to get the slag out.

The good thing is i can always change them if they dont turn out good!

Posted: Thursday, January 19, 2012 11:03 AM  

yea, i hear ya. thats exactly what i ended up trying to do too, i filled it with weld, then reamed the hole, i just didnt like the look, i even tried beveling the hole with a tapered reamer, but idk.

regardless, the design is great, so keep it up, love what your doing with it out back.
