With the steering head complete, the rear axel brackets were laid out and cut using the circle cutting attachment. After the slots were finished, a fixture was built using angle iron and square tubing to hold the axel with the axel brackets bolted in place. This was then mounted on a peice of 6" x 6" h-beam 52" long. An elaborate frame fixture is not necessary when building a one-off frame. Two peices of 3/4" x 1 1/2" x 24" solid bar stock are clamped 8" apart, centered, and squared with the h-beam. These are used to triangulate measurements. You'll see the frame fixture from different angles as the project progresses. Check back soon for more updates. Click photos to Enlarge. |
