Thread: Does this look safe?

I post both places frequently because I think I get more viewpoints that way. I am not doubting or second guessing anyones information, I just like to get as many opinions and ideas as possible. I am on killbillet.com and will probably post there once I get everything redone the way everyone suggested. I redid a v6 mustang and always posted on both of the top boards just to get all the opinions and viewpoints I could. Not trying to "step on any toes" or check up on what you tell me, I just like to get everyones input. One or two guys on the hamb had pics of their setups which are quite like what I am trying to do (even though according to quite a few people it won't work). Had I only posted here I would have gotten good input, but no pics of someone who has done the same thing in this instance. Maybe next time it will be the opposite.

I am going to make sure I have a good locating stud into the plate, and weld the plate to the axle not only only top like is marked, but I can get to a good chunk of it underneath as well. I am going to make one piece spacers that fill the gap between the plate and axle pad with no nuts, I will weld them to the plate once I am satisfied with everything else. I want the spacers there to keep me from breaking the corners off the axle pad itself when I tighten the ubolts. They will be short enough to allow the axle pad and plate to bend a little towards each other, but not enough to break (hopefully). I may put a small leaf under the u end of the ubolts mounting bracket as someone suggested that the area it covers is small and may wear badly and break. I hate to do that as I am worried about the scrub line already.

OK, I just went out and checked, and I have a good 1 1/2 inch clearance on the scrubline. That is from rim to rim, not from rim to tire contact figuring on TWO flat tires so I should be OK.
