I'm not building an Airplane and I think I'm past 90?... but I can feel it!

Hey 340 I don't know how that pic was taken but that bracket is messing my eyes up......and your making great progress there.

The opener incident is pretty freaky and yes it could have been much worse. That said it certainly left a mark...​

 

Easy Peasy?
The Opener did a job on the frame... lotso Bending / Straightening.

Adjustment to - 1/4" wider on top.

Took s'more out than last time (chop)...

Removed my ugly tube posts.

Best way to mount anything to that bracket is to use specialist bolts.( as illustrated )

 

Why can't I stop looking at this!!!

I need some eye bleach from that other thread.

Put a chalk mark on one of your rear tires, and a mark on the driveshaft. Turn the driveshaft by hand. Count how many turns it takes on the driveshaft to one revolution of the tire. 3 turns + 3:1. 3 1/2 turns + 3.5:1, and so on. Not rocket science.

And, yes, the louver panels are way to "ratty". Don't down grade all your nice work.

 

She's out for a sniff of road......and it smells really close by...really coming together 340...Beautiful backdrop you have too.

 

Thank's Stogy.....
Dean....i'm OFF the fence!..
- yes 1 tire revolution = drive shaft spins less than 2 times....~1.6.
that's why I did 10 turns...
2.76 is the lowest gear set I've seen for 8-3/4...?

lots of great work, I really like the military connectors and wire covering your using. great attention to detail....

Have you figured out the gear ration? Do you have a posi or limited slip rear?
Posi: Jack both wheels off the ground. Turn one wheel 1 complete turn and count the turns on the drive shaft.
Non-posi: Jack one wheel off the ground. Turn the wheel 2 complete turns and count the turns on the drive shaft.
