Anderzander Posted November 25, 2013 Share Posted November 25, 2013 You're not wrong - beautiful welding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookie64 Posted November 26, 2013 Author Share Posted November 26, 2013 why thank you sirs it looks very beefy and a tad OTT but i checked my measurements last night and it should look fine once the arm is welded on there are going to be two 2" tubes welded onto it and the hinge is 6" tall so from the bottom will be: 1/2" gap 2" tube 1" gap 2" tube 1/2" gap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted November 26, 2013 Share Posted November 26, 2013 Very chunky! Watching with interest as I'm facing the same problem myself, the 37" takes up too much boot space since the cage went on. Can I ask how much that weighs?

cookie64 Posted February 21, 2014 Author Share Posted February 21, 2014 sorry this has taken so long, i dislocated my shoulder so havnt been able to do anything but back on track now have just made up the reciever plate for the swing away, this will slide over the rear crossmember and bolt on, once i know where the swing arm will sit i will weld on a little plinth with a snauff pipe clamp for the arm to locate in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cookie64 Posted May 13, 2014 Author Share Posted May 13, 2014 thanks i prefer to over engineer things and have them last for ever than engineer them just enough. i think in total this cost me about £150 although thats not including all my labour and i got some of the materials for free 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr Strangeglove Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 I want to make a similar carrier but all the decent stub axles seem to be either USA or Australia based. So, two options; Does anyone know a UK supplier of these. Or Does anyone have any drawings that could be given to an engineering shop but with details of the appropriate bearings etc. Regards Mick    Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vulcan bomber Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Cant help with a drawing, but I can turn the part up for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Strangeglove Posted December 14, 2020 Share Posted December 14, 2020 Thanks VB, that is extremely kind. I will try to find some details as I have no idea about bearings and tolerances so I will have to look into that. I can draw out and laser cut all the bracketery so I can sort that side. If anyone can help with bearings and tolerances I would appreciate it. Regards Mick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
