Jan 2010 Lower wishbone construction

I cut out the large hole in the plates on the lathe by centring and welding the plate onto a piece of tube and then turned out the hole to the right size
I also turned a plug to the same size which could be used to centre the plate on the jig.
Again, the jug was fabricated to book specifications and taking into account the size of my bush tubes.
The plates and bush tubes were clamped and bolted to the jig and the tubes cut to length and shape and welded together.
As these wishbones are symetrical, i could weld one side, let it cool and turn it over, clamp and weld the other side. Very happy with the result.
