Chassis, part two
Well, we screwed up last time. We mounted the axle only 20% of the way from the back. It should be 35-45%. I think we basically welded one spring hanger and instead of extending forward to weld the second, we went extended backward instead. Whoops. So I cut the welds, got new hangers, and rewelded them all today.
I added A-members to the front. That’ll add a bit of structural rigidity and prevent tongue twist.
Also added some cross braces on each back corner and plug welded a pair of Atwood swingdown stabilizer jacks to the braces.
Bolted my swingdown wheel jack to the tongue.
Tomorrow, we flip, grease pack bearings, add wheels, and add a few more welds.
