I didn't feel like agrivating my headache much tonight so I stuck with doing a small job. For my hydro assist steering planned for the future, I need a clamp for my tie rod. I didn't want to weld tabs on it, illegal, plus if I ever needed to swap a tie rod or make an adjustment, it wouldn't be easy. So here we go, this is what I've got so far:
1.5" OD / 1.150" ID DOM tubing with a 3/8" slit down the middle of it. Welded tabs are 3/8" flat bar, with 3/8" holes drilled in it. Alls I need now is some tabs for the hydro ram. I need the ram first however before I can weld on the tabs... Beefy though!!!
