It was very time consuming. I ended scraping these parts. They were too thin to easily weld to the main tube. I ended up re-machining new bearing holders out of a full section of tube. These are definitely custom parts.
@@MCYIndustries I have a lathe, but I almost would want to sub this task to someone with CNC equipment. Were the dimensions in the plans correct, or did you have to modify them?
@@CKxx The plans were correct, but i modified them anyway to suit my needs. I have the time and tools to build everything myself. If someone were to pay me to build one I would definitely sub a lot of the parts.
How do you address the heat treat and possible brittleness of the ends of the shafts, after filling thr old threads with weld and then turning it down? I'm assuming the filler is a different alloy, and welding affects the grain structure of the base metal and adds stress to it; Is this bit something to worry about, or did you do something to mitigste it?
The filler was a different alloy, I did nothing to address this potential problem. In normal use case, I don't think this shaft would experience much shear force.
can these just be purchased as part of the build? Was thinking this was right up my alley till seeing this part
I can make more if needed. Lately I’ve been thinking of redoing the whole suspension setup. I want to move the airbags and shocks under the deck.
This looks like the most time-consuming part of this build. Do the plans call for these parts to be custom made, or can they be purchased?

should have really done some research and cut the threads using the lathe bro!! Good effort nonetheless!!
What's under the tarps? 👀
not my stuff =D
