Carloz Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 Mmmmm.... Looks nice but lot's of work! I almost don't dare to ask... But do it anyway: Why not laser cut or better (regarding the thickness) of the material waterjet cut? Also the cilindrical part done on the lathe seems not very strong, for sure less than original. Or is it just for locating some nice thick wall tube and serious bracing will be added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmmm I thrive on.lots of work I don't have a laser cut or a waterjet machine, however I'm old school, I would file it into shape if that was my only option. I also like the challenge of figuring out how to make stuff with the equipment I have This is the first time someone has implied that what I make isn't strong enough, in all honesty I would say most think I over engineer what I'm making, anyway, cylindrical part is 38mm diameter and you are correct it will slide into some 50mm x 6mm seamless tube with bracing where I deem necessary as I've said before please keep your comments coming if nothing else it makes me check my rationale to what I'm trying to achieve the caveat to this is if it turns out not strong enough I will re-manufacture even stronger regards Stephen Edited August 6, 2021 by Stellaghost Spelling 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

miketomcat Posted August 6, 2021 Share Posted August 6, 2021 There are plenty of aftermarket radius arms I wouldn't put near a truck. I doubt you have anything to worry about. You engineering is on a level with (if a little heavier) the likes of the flying spanners and I saw what they did to their trucks.
