They have to stay parallel then!



I disagree, insofar as it HAVING to stay parallel. Latent stresses in the steel once the welding is complete will be released and still put it out of line.

That's why my second post talks about the heat/stress relieving the way Mark Allanson did- then it won't jump out of allignment when the middle section is cut.

James I'm shocked! How do you gut the section of tube out so the edges of the eyes are perpendicular to the bores?



Careful use of hacksaw, barstard file and set square!


They're good enough for my Pinto engined piece o' junk!

Cheers,
James
