Today I had a few milliseconds to play with the angle grinders.
Not that I´m paranoid but I thought it was worth checking if the replacement front cross member was the same size as the old one!
Not that I´m paranoid (#2) but I thought it was worth measuring between the two chassis legs before cutting the old cross member away
Not that I´m paranoid (#3) but it looks like I need to drill some drain holes in the new cross member as there seems to be a lot of stuff that gets stuck in there. Just look what came out =>
Not that I´m paranoid (#4) but I might weld plates on the ends of this tube and skip the drain holes...
Despite careful cutting and slow slow grinding I was caught on the hop. I thought that once the cross member tube was cut away I be able to see into the chassis legs. I was surprised to see that the ends of the chassis legs are boxed in / closed off =>
^^^^^^^
Nice bit of upside down welding is needed (arse)
