Exhibit A contains a 2 x 3 x 1/4" wall soon to be x-member, two (2) 1.75 x 3/16" upper bumper pieces for under the headlights and front part of fender w/50* bends @14.5". I need to cut off 18" from the ends. I have a fourth piece that I'll sleeve on both ends.
It just so happends that a d-side D44 axle shaft is ~1.375" and fits very well inside 1.75" tube to be used as sleeves.
An example of using part of the axle shaft as a sleeve. I'll drill and plug weld later. I should have done this from the get go, ah well.
Got one at a time cause it saved me 20 bucks. *Important question* Do I need to have two locking sleeves for springs? I wonder why they would only include one? There isnt a hole on the backside for a rivet either.
1/2" spring plate I made....jk Barnes deserves all the credit on their fantastic products
Bought new shackles instead of using the ones I made, 9/16" bolts/nuts/washers acquired
All cleaned up, need prime and paint
Ebay 99.99 special. I dont need any o-ring seals with these, do I?
39/64" drilled, all cleaned up and ready for pressing. I'd have these finished but I didnt get the right seals from Rockauto.
Improved the locking collar, those two pieces are welded togther.
Gettin there. Going to gusset the ears and vertical gusset for added strength. The drill bit dulled as I was drilling these out.
