Default Camber adjuster Bolt, Jig

made this today as an alternative to the jig in the book, just thought i would share it with you guys, will be converting all the jigs to sheet metal, find it easier this way, as im new to all this fabrication stuff.

by new to fabrication i meant to welding bits of metal together and making things, i do the programming etc for the punch now, but used to work the pressbrake, plasma and punch, picked up a welder for the first time about 2 weeks ago,
It was punched on a trumpf punch and folded on an lvd pressbrake,
thanks for the comments though,

In the last few days I've had 2 friends ask if they can build their cars in my space (If I clear out all the rubbish I have space to park 5 cars under roof behind lock n key). I think a few good jigs would come in handy, so please post a price. Sadly I think postage to Sarf Efrika will kill it for me
