Re: DIY 3/8" Plate Crossmember Experiment
« on: Jan 01, 2013, 07:18:30 PM »
Here's some shots of how it looked after the first and second bends. I made the jig for my shop press, but I want to re-design it so it has uprights/guides like I have seen on some other ones. I'm happy with how it performs so far though.







And after the second set of bends. Bolted up on the mount and held by two bottle jacks. That's all for today, I cleaned up and headed inside shortly after this, got some chow, and wanted to post this up. I'll fully examine where the drivetrain sits height-wise to see if I need to or can make any adjustments when I get back in the shop (maybe tomorrow).

Until then,  :beer:
