Ya see? guys like you who have a whole lot of finesse make us guys look like hacks!

Stellar work. Only lots of years of experience can account for this kind of pre-planning that flows on to this quality of work.

Very envious of your work... maybe you can drive it to Kinglake when it's built so I can have a look!

I decided to do simulate the factory way by cutting out a 2" disc using a hole saw around the mounting point, tacking it in top and bottom, then tilting it to 3*.


Then fully welding it back in again. It is not much of a tilt, but means the bush wont be under constant tension if it had not been done and will therefore last a lot longer.
In general, your work impresses me but its the finer things, as above, that really blow me away man.

Keep up the awesome work...

Was not sure to show all the finer things and deleted a few even on this post while putting it up. Glad to know it is of interest to some.

Will be in Kinglake for sure many times once it is done. The in-laws live there so can't get around not being there for birthdays etc.

I find the finer details the most interesting, things that you don't normally think of.

Fantastic work, keep it up, love seeing the updates
