[QUOTE="Tazza, post: 2570, member: 82"] I spoke to a friend of mine that is a fitter and turner, i told him about the one i did and he said no no, do it this way!. His way is to get the chrome bar and grind the top and bottominto like a flat chistle point, basically giving you room to weld the bar all the way through. Weld the top, then the bottom avoiding getting it too hot. Keep layering on welds untill you get to the top. This way the bar is attached to the eye all they way through from the centre of the stick outwards making it extriemly strong. The way i did mine was to weld around the outside and it worked fine for my work, i don't punnish it. He said if you have any air pockets in the way i did it, they will crack and continue around untill it breaks off. The main problem is the tilt ram fully retracted doesn't leae you much room to do it that way. I'm sure who ever does it will do a good job. [/QUOTE]
