[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 3700, member: 82"] Ken, yeah i did zap 2 temp. brackets to the bobtach to keep it all square. I used a length of 1 1/4 bar so i could measure it all so it was tracking straight. I'm really not sure if the weld moved it that far first time around or not, it seemed like a awfull lot to move. I think i'll jusy say it was so i can't blame myself for not checking it :) I'm not sure what the origional thickness of the steel was, so i used 1/2” plate for the job. It seems more than strong enough. I just cut it to shape in a band saw then tack welded the 2 plates together and drilled a 1” hole through the middle. It then needed to go in the 4 jaw chuck in the lathe to bore it out to 1 1/2”. You can skip the lathe bit if your drill can handle drilling a 1 1/2” hole. [/QUOTE]
