Wishbone Jig
Hi all, was going to use a setup like what Blueshift has in his last post as a jig
for my bones but after reading your comments decided to make a proper jig as seen here , my
question is would it be ok to cut a couple of slots down the ends on the tubes and insert a gusset plate shaped like the one drawn underneath. I know
if I do I will have to modify the tube guide so the gusset will go in. Any way what do you think, I am using maxi ball joints btw. Sorry about the
dodgy yellow tinge, dodgy camera! others in my photo archive
Thanks in advance
Rich

Thanks and I'm sure someone will snap them up, but I am sort of into making as much of this car myself so I'll pass, but thanks.
Regards

Don't slot the wishbones for the shock mounting plate/gusset, simply butt weld it to the middle of the tube (not on top).

The reason I asked is that I was going to then use the bottom of that plate to push upwards towards the bushing tubes keeping it all tight together
and thought a couple of smallish slots would help to do this without pinging upwards if you get my drift.
Thanks
