nice looking welds; you make that spindle?

woodward

Thanks! Just had to throw a picture of the weld on there. Fishin for compliments i guess. ? as for the spindle, i bought the brass bushing from National Springs. It has an 1.25" ID and 1.5" OD. I welded the 1.25" solid stock directly to the bumper and used a swing press (hammer) to press the bushing into the 2" DOM. . 250" wall. The bushing already had the machined grease grooves.

Oh. And i welded the threads on the solid stock. So i could put a nut on it just in case i need to remove it for any reason.

woodward

Wait. You asked about the spindle? I dont know why i was thinking the hinge. Yes i made the spindle.

woodward

Lol. Thanks for the ego boost. I can feel my head swelling.

Un painted and painted pics. And i used a locking hitch pin. Kinda covers the tail light a little more than i wanted to. I will admit i did not even think about it until after it was all welded up. Hope the cops dont mess with me.
