BigRed350x Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 (edited) This thread is REALLY scaring me now... You could have at least taken a wire wheel and cleaned the area where you're welding. I can still see black paint all around the area where you were welding. I also don't see any heat discoloration on the steel, so you didn't have your arc temp set correctly. Do you have life insurance?

J.J. Posted December 31, 2010 Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 and did you put slugs in thr end of the hollow tubes to strengthen them up? What he said ^^^ How did you join the open ended tubes to the slug and how did you fill the gap between the slug and the thin walled tube? Good luck with that setup, I'm all for homefab, but I think you could've done better! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that setup, I'm all for homefab, but I think you could've done better! I didn't see any plug welds in his pics, which means the slug is basically just end-cap welded, and the ball joint tube is just welded to the sides of the original a-arm tube and the end of the slug.

shoopie Posted December 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2010 I did it exactly how this guy did it in his a-arm mod thread and his worked out perfectly, i just extended mine a little bit for more width. don't give me shit if you don't like my work. You don't have to ride it so stop bitching http://bansheehq.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=105318 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRed350x Posted January 1, 2011 Report Share Posted January 1, 2011 (edited) Your posting this stuff up with pictures of your work on a public forum... you have to be ready for some opinions on your work to come flowing in. Especially when people see some potential hazards with what you're doing. I will remain scared throughout the testing phase of your experiment. ...and in the thread you referenced... look at the quality of the guys welds and compare his work to yours.
