in ref to br1-12 when it says... "when you are happy with the fit of these tubes, tack weld them together, working on one side of the chassis then the other to minimise any distortion" do they mean tack every tube on 1 side then tack ever weld on the other? as i personaly would normaly do 1 tack on 1 side then 1 on the other to keep it even. Advice welcome!
Also when should i fully weld as i need to move the chassis from the jig to do the rear end. Also i dont have the gearbox or diff yet so i cant do the tunnel enterance or exit yet (end next week) Last edited by Eternal : 2nd July 2010 at 07:18 PM.

Are the front frame uprights ment to run parallel down the length of the frame? having a bit of trouble with a complete front frame i bought. If i get the top level its way way out on the 75mm from the front measurement. and also 1mm too low. if i pull it forward on the top it goes to the right hight but the ff4 has a slope. Guess i should untack it and check to make sure its true. Damn really wanted to not have to mess around with the front frame. Also i think its slightly twisted if i get the front dead level the the top ends of f4 are slightly off by about 3mm from each other. Just check the elbows of the bends and ff3 is 3mil sticking out from the width of f4 and f2 is 1mil sticking out. Maby its me i duno what do you guys think? Good news is the frame base is all tacked now. Did a tack then did another on other side.. must have walked miles lol
