Thread: axle c-notch reinforcement

Tweet

Take a look at the new Street Rodder rag - I just got mine yesterday and 'glanced' over an article that showed how Shadow Rod is doing the street tour 2010 car. May not be what you want but.......

If you box the frame, it is reinforced ... IMHO.
I like to use a section of pipe for my " C " notch . With the frame boxed, then trim out for the section of pipe and then weld the section in. Dress up and detail ... DONE

nice shop!!!!

Here's a tip--make sure you cut the notch so it is slightly longer in front of the axle because your axle will be coming up at a slight angle. If you make the c-notch directly over the housing, your axle could rise up and hit the front edge of the c-notch. Ask me how I know. *#@%&!
