Its just a set up that gives me a bigger surface to hold my angle against with some pieces of angled strips spotwelded to it to keep it straight. Will try to test it this evening.

Working on a jig for the tub.
The outside frame is bolted together, at least on one side the other is clamped so I can make some adjustments.
Decided to narrow it with 20cm to make it easier to handle on a rotisserie.
The cross bars, 5 one for each 2 connecting points from tub to frame, will be Attached in a flexible way to make it possible to use it on different vehicles.
The cross bars will get attachment points that can be adjusted in height for the different mounting points.
The tub is going to sit about 10cm plus original difference from 0 line on the chassis.
This way I can build the tub back up off the chassis and it wil fit just on there when done.
An other benefit of this is that the frame will not be in the way of the metal work.

Started with the attachement of the cross bars to the frame.
Top connection is made from a corner with an extension. Welded together.
Extension plates cut, 10 times nice and straight with the band saw.
Welds are looking better.

Bottom side, going to bolt through the strips top to bottom.
This way it locks the bottom of the cross bar in place and prevents the frame from spreiding under load.

New welder, AC/DC tig welder.
This provides more control and can be programmed.

While cutting threads for the adjustable body mount supports on the jig I found out there was to much movement in the attachement of the compound slide on my lathe.
This gave me an extra project.
Cut some 15mm thick steel.
Found the center.
Drilled a hole and started taking material off.

Turned it around and cut the center out.
Fitting on the cross slide.
Went from 2 8mm bolts to 4 10mm bolts.
Side by side old and new.
And on the lathe.
It feels way better.
