Richard just posted these pictures of the welding on the I-beams. So I thought I should share.
We just shipped a run of panhard bars to customer. They look so good lined up together I had to take a picture.
The sheet metal for the I-beams is all cut and bent. A little bit of cleaning and prep work and they will be ready to weld.
The I-Beam Ends are finished.
It was a good thing I made a test part before cutting into the real ones. On the first attempt the side hole was a little too far away. The second attempt was too close and on third I was still a little off, but felt confident enough to move on to the real parts.
Billet Flex Joints anyone?
Now for the tricky part. The distance from the side hole and the kingpin bore is extremely critical. Before round the end and bore the kingpin hole on the beam ends, I’m going machine a test part to make sure the two holes are the right distance apart.
