Ribs cut and welded in. Low spots on top were filled in with weld, and ground smooth for the plate to follow...


Plate in...side shot to show the gap

Just some shots of the side plate...AR400, rosettes cut for the ribs



Installing

Front and rear shots of where it's going


Here we go...

Fit like a glove.

Top and bottom comparison shots...there was a huge gap there people. Should run much smoother now.


Cylinder was supposed to be in Friday, moved to Monday...I'll try to get shots of the cylinder going in, but a lot of it may happen before my shift.

Not criticizing. It was just a funny mental picture.
I wonder how much weight it would add if you laid a pad of beads on every surface.
Good assumption in a welding thread.
