Next up was the continued work on the front crossmember.
I notched out a bunch of tubes and tack welded them in place on the car before removing it so I could weld it all together with the comfort of my work bench.
To do this without everything moving I had to build a jig.
It came together quickly with the hot glue gun (Mig)
Before welding the crossmember together I had to finish of the shock mounts. I had to fully weld them to the tube and then add some gussets using CAD.
The gusset also joins them to the main cross-tube to stiffen the mounts up some more
and then it was just a whole lot of welding
one of my better welds
and here it is all done on the car
With that finished I have something to build my engine mounts onto. Next job will be putting the engine into its final position and building the mounts.
