    What was the result when you tried to post the pics? Used to be on here that until you had exceeded a certain number of posts, your posts with pics had to be approved by a moderator before they would appear, no idea if that is the case now, or not......

    these plates mount through slots in the frame,

    and then are tig welded in place top and bottom. also got the gearbox mounts cut and bent.

    cheers,
    long day today but got rear axle mounted heres how i did it.

    aswell as the slots crossrails were also drilled 25mm,


    then welded in and the welds dressed off.


    the crossrails were then welded into the frame to hang the diff,


    and then the wishbones and hubs were bolted on. i now have my datum points to locate the engine and front axle so thats the next job.more on sunday.

    I was going to ask if you were going to use rosette welding on the tab(s). Thought better to wait and glad I did. More great work.

    I'm glad I looked at more pics since for a minute there I thought you were building a new Brooklyn Bridge from Lancashire to New York. That's one solid chassis you're building! Looks great.
