Made up shock axle brackets, just need to clean case and tig them in place.


Been thinking about axle location, a pan hard won't work correctly with a transverse spring in my opinion so been looking at alternatives, thought about a Mumford set up but it's a bit to complicated for the space I have so decided on a Watts linkage.
First job was to make the centre pivot out of a lump of aluminium bar.



Next some tube was found and threaded inserts made up

A simple bracket was made to start with and then added to as I went






.Its aweful lonesome in the saddle since my horse died.
