More rear suspension

Drilled the second set of arms tonight, then welded in the inserts. These were then welded to the plates - hurray, one wishbone complete. The welding isn't the neatest - some bits went really well, others look messy, but there is excellent penetration and they seem v.strong!

More rear suspension

Spent Monday evening cutting and drilling another plate for the other side of the suspension, and cutting another two suspension arms. Next will be to weld the rod-ends into these arms, then it'll be time to assemble the two wishbones. Unsuprisingly, Tuesday being Valentines day, I thought it prudent to spend the evening at home! Would be bitter irony to have anniversary of divorce on Valentines! It is now Wednesday, divorce succesfully avoided, I hope to do some more work tomorrow as I'm away at the weekend again. I have noticed that the site visitor count has hit 2000!! Thanks for looking everyone and keep watching!

Back suspension Jig

Spent a bit of time today making the jig for the rear suspension. I also made the second arm of one side. I ran out of time with a little fettling still to do, but the photo should give an idea of what I'm trying to achieve.
