[QUOTE="BlueOvalF22, post: 1556495, member: 43002"] I'm setting up the shop to weld tomorrow. The new welder gets here. [IMG]https://scontent-lax3-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/122309226_10157785891628660_1452354438841262133_o.jpg?_nc_cat=110&ccb=2&_nc_sid=730e14&_nc_ohc=ut-Cd6Wd3NUAX80qehw&_nc_ht=scontent-lax3-1.xx&oh=2f38de1d8630586ca509e5952e3efd07&oe=5FC1A78E[/IMG] New helmet is here.

I'm going to have to drop the tank to weld the driver's side track bar bracket in. On both sides, I'm going to have to pull the spring out the forward mount to weld them in. The axle shock mount welding I'll be doing first since I can just droop it out, pull the U bolts set the axle on shorty stands to give me lots of room to dry-fit, jig up and weld the shock mounts. It's why I used the non-locking nuts that came with the Deave U-bolts for now and not the lock nuts I bought. When it goes back together with the welding done those will go on. In aviation, you don't ever reuse nuts like those. You aren't supposed to in automotive suspension either. [/QUOTE]
