Edit: Had this moved from Newbie General. I learned to braze for this build so I decided to stick it here. I'll update specs more later. Last edited by redrustbucket; 01-08-2013 at 10:29 AM. Reason: Moved thread |

If I do panels I'm trying to think of a good way to keep the nuts in place and flush while brazing. I'm thinking of using a piece of aluminum to mount them to. Any tips appreciated. Thanks, it's coming along. Thanks, it should hold up. I'd mount it a little different next time but I guess time will tell whether 4 anchor points to the axle are good. | |

| Re: Punk Rock 45 Thanks. It's simply narrowed, not dovetailed. Dovetailing it would require pie cutting it which could result in too many pieces to patch back together. I simply ran a strip of electrical tape down the center as a guide and removed it. I used the hood from a Bushwhacker and the bezel from a Tamiya. 2 pieces will hopefully give it a little more strength.
