Did some more today, made the second mount, mounted the main bar, got my spindle and hub in the post along with the bearings, picked up a bunch of new bolts, mounted the spindle and smoothed it out a bit
The ends need shaping to follow the lines of the body and I'll also be adding some returns that replace the plastic bits that go up the guards. I'll be trimming the guards at the same time to allow room for 32's
The spindle mounted, a bit of scratch filler on there as well to pretty it up as I put down about three beads of weld and want it to look smooth. It needs a little more smoothing still, I'm happy though it's plenty strong.
And underneath, I poked it through a little for extra strength, it wont be going anywhere, still needs welding down here.
And the profile, I wanted to keep it fairly thin but still stick out enough to hang off if needed. There will be a filler plate between body and bar and it will also go up under the taillights. Still a bit to do to make it look nice.
And the hub, it will sit up a little higher than this once the bearings are mounted. I may also need to mount a pair of brake/taillights in the bar if it is obscured too much, I'll see how it goes.
Cheers
Steve
