checking chassis before welding
This might be a bit of a stupid question but... Is there any way to ensure that all tubes are correct and there is no distortion before fully welding.
Obviously I have been checking all dimensions and angles against the book but would just like to be sure as I'm not too far from being ready to weld. |
I tied mine to a car body jig to weld it and it still distorted very slightly.
Check your measurements and placement of the components and only when you are 100% sure weld it. Once welded there is a lot of stress and tension on all parts and if you have to remake it guaranteed it will go twang when you cut into it. |

Great info thanks.
Yes talon, its basically all just tacked but I did weld up all the base tube to try keep a good flat base. I should be able to work through your guide to double check everything. Looking forward to part 2. Good idea of cutting the holes out to aid welding. |
