Just practising

Getting back on topic... I use IMGUR (search in google) to upload my photos. Once done, I select the 'Large Thumbnail' option at the bottom of the menu on the right hand side of the newly uploaded photo, then copy across the BBCode into your post. Job done

I have started to put photos on Google photo still playing about with it.
I have had enough of photobucket because every time I log into it they keep interrupting it with adverts saying that I am the 1 millionth user that day and I have won a trip to mars on concord.
Going back to the item Williams 2 brought up, if you know anything about fabrication the weakest type of weld is an end to end butt weld.
I have also had both set-ups run through a design program by a guy that designs for Mercedes trailers and his answer was the same so, with the greatest respect I will go with his results.
Also with end to end butt welds you are relying on four welds where as with my alterations I have eight welds to rely on.
At the end of the day, everyone makes there own decisions and alterations to suit themselves.

Kind regards

The diff and uprights at the begnning of your photobucket - and the engine and g'box at the end - all look damn tidy. Are there details on your build thread of how you prepared and painted them? (what products you used -etc?) If I can get that look for my running gear I will be well pleased!

The diff was serious hard graft, the guy I bought it from had painted it in red lead to stop it rusting so first hit it with Nitromorse and then into every nook and cranny with a dremmel. I painted the main body with caliper paint and then powdercoated the rear diff cover using the electrostatic magic system.
Front uprights were treated to a dose of electrolysis, bearings and again caliper paint to try and handle any heat.
The engine had a complete strip down and rebuild, all parts stripped, painted and re-assembled. I did try and powder coat the rocker but it didn't come out good enough, I know where I went wrong and next time I powdercoat it I know the pitfalls. So I stripped it right back and painted it and the timing belt cover with Hammerite silver
