    I was taught using radiused or diamond shaped fishplates gives you more linear weld therefore giving the plate more support. Never new about the cat tails but was taught not to stop on a “hard” corner but to weld past or around it.
    It’s all with the same goal in mind to minimize stress points and the chance of cracks.

    Greetings from Oklahoma! Just came across your channel on my search for ideas and knowledge for hopefully my '32 Tudor build. I look forward to seeing more of your content soon! I love the matte black Sedan with the whitewalls. That is very similar to the vision in my head for mine. Especially love the windshield visor!!! Subscribed and notified.

    good progress 😊😊
    Note that carriage bolts, regardless on how much they are torqued up, will never transfer shear loads like a rivet. Rivets completely fill the hole when they are upset. Just a heads up if you find the frame not to be up to your torsional stiffness standards. Hope that's helpful

    I remember years ago I worked at an auto manufacturer and the prototype welded up rear subframes were cracking in a rig test. They added a weld runout off the joint along the parent metal and it stopped the cracking problem. So there is something in it. Your axle brackets could probably be moved inboard a bit to get the ideal dimension on the spring mounts. You might also be able to cheat the axle rearwards a bit too (as you alluded). In the stock application the banjo only just clears the rolled up front edge of the rear crossmember. The axle on my 32 is the opposite. It just touches the crossmember on full bump. I have a torque tube. I should have gone 1/4" shorter when I shortened it. Don't want to come across as a know it all but the 36 bones should not be relied on alone to support the axle. Some sort of torque reaction rod ought to be added to help them resist bending. You probably already know that, but other people might not. All the best, Mart in England.

    • @LGKustoms
      @LGKustoms  Год назад

      Interesting on the subframe prototype.
      In regards to the spring being tight, and option my friend Bruce mentioned was making the shackles a bit longer.
      As for the 36 bones, I am aware that they should be run with a torque arm to replicate the torque tube. That being said, I probably won’t, as this car has a bone stock Flathead and will run bias ply tires. I’ll take the gamble haha. If it breaks, we’ll fix it.
      There was a real interesting thread on the HAMB several years ago, a guy was asking for photo proof of 36 bones actually bending from not running a torque arm. Not “a friend of a friend” or an “old guy up the street once said” but actual photo proof from someone who had it happen to them. And nobody could provide anything haha.

      @@LGKustoms I tend to do the same myself, follow my gut instinct but be prepared to fix it if it goes wrong. I think having the ends closing to a single point is a big help. Splitting them apart increases the bending tremendously. Long shackles are ok if not too long. I used the longer 41 shackles on my roadster for the same reason. I did not detect any negative effect from the longet shackles. Much longer than that, though and you can effect the handling. Nice chatting with you. I'm hamb member no 28 btw and my handle is Mart.

      Like turn it around backwards? It wouldn’t fit back in the crossmember. The crossmember is curved to match the spring.
