Shocking question

[kc_chevota]

for those of you that have installed ford shock towers did you bolt or weld them on? im trying to decide if just bolting with grade 8 will be strong enuff (sp?)

 

[PabloCruise]

I plan on doing both...

Uh...let's see...120,000 psi for something that hardly sees any load...Yes you should be fine.

A little different question: For those that have welded them on, did you make up some eye-shaped scab plates? Or cut the bottom of the tower into a diamond shape?

Or are stress risers not as big of a concern there for some reason?

Not trying to be a smartass - just curious.
