Lovely stuff, I know I'm teaching my grandmother to suck eggs, but remember to seam weld those tacks!

:lol: It will all be fully welded after I have finished, there's a few more bits to do to it yet before I do that though :thumbup:

Got my new rear shackles on this evening, managed to fling a spanner into my mouth in the process and chipped an old repair on one of my front teeth :hahaha: I blame my housemate I was chatting to him and not really concentrating at the time :lol:

also got a bit more to my Tcase guard/mount as well.

Sorry about the crap quality pics, my good phone has broken :argh:

Had to flex it up again to test that the longer shackles had fixed the problem of the shackles going flat under bump, worked a treat :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

Cheers matey, who needs drop shackles/missing links eh! :thefinger:

Got some more done on the Tcase cradle last night, I'm taking it slow to minimise any distortion.

Not some of my best welding in places :oops:

I put a V in 98% of the joins :lol: perhaps not a big enough Vs though? I never really weld 6mm plate & granted I might've missed one half of the long join on the bottom plate :oops: I cleaned the metal where it was being welded + a bit more; think it's hard to tell with the s**t quality phone camera pics though (well apart from in that last pic, I tacked it all together then realised I missed that bit and could only get a file in there :oops: )

you learn from your mistakes eh :lol:

as for the bush sleeves, did you give me the bushes for them back or have you still got them to measure from? I'll check tonight for you either way.
