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

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

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

I put a V in 98% of the joins
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
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
)
you learn from your mistakes eh
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.
