Sounds good Bill. Take a little time on the fit of the fish mouth. As vector points out the weld shrinkage is a consideration and a good fit minimizes that. Balance the welds if you can. Weld one side and spin and weld the other. Sides first because the ends really change the angle, especially the underneath one. I use 3/8" bolts on the 7's but 5/16" grade 8 should be fine, they are in double shear.

Not sure I would follow this guy's advice, looking at that frame he built that was cut up sure looked questionable in the welding. |

Scott427, how about describing your expertise as a welder so we can determine if your criticism of someone else's work is warranted or just more BS piling on Nick here. A couple pics don't really tell the whole story IMHO. |

I posted this on another thread, but will do so here as well.
These are most excellent on fitting pipe, IMHO.

Would you like to see the pix of the Crapton welds that are on the crap he sent me? Your backing the wrong horse.
Would you like to see my welding credentials? I was certified structural, and high pressure vessel. I have over 40 years fabrication experience with stick, MIG, and gas welding. I was certified in carbon arc, and burning.
Crapton's welds are erratic and cold. His welds look like bird****.
Now, where's your credentials? |

Might want to fit a seat as the front brace looks short.
Looks great, just be sure the seat will not be blocked.
Mine extends into the footbox.
My frame is not as heavily modified just easier to check now than later.
Awesome job!

Call it want you want Sir, but it takes no experienced welder to look at those welds to see they are rough, and that's putting it nice.
As for pilling on the BS you bet, this work is very sub par.
What's your expertise to call it different? |
