Brilliant! I gotta get myself a lathe.

Nice weight down low, gotta love overkill engineering.

Thanks Nate, we will see how it works out once I get it on the rocks again.
Ernie,

Those "Beef Tubes" look perfect, we really need someone to start making these for purchase for those of us without the tools and/or know how to make something like that.

[CODYBOY]

Thanks NickDanger, I would consider doing it, but I'm retired and kind of want to stay that way.

It isn't what I used, but you would need 1/8" and 1/4" tubing (brass pipe) that would need a little machining and your axle would need to be drilled out for the tube to fit. You should be able to find it at any hardware store in the plumbing section.Ernie

Got my shims today, thanks Nate!!!

[Natedog]

Awesome and you're welcome! Any questions just ask!

[avengernut]

My bad, the tubing is 3/16" Stainless Steel tubing. I found the best price at Zoro. I will see if I can get a link for you.

No darn, sorry about that. Just look around on the site until you find 3/16". should be 304, grade and .035 wall thickness. I think about $12.85 for 6'. and I will try to edit that link."thumbsup http://www.zoro.com/i/G1231282 corrected link.

[avengernut]

Just a little update on my beef tube weights. All put together, and added some Lunsford Titanium.







I see some more brass work in my future?
Thanks for looking.

[Natedog]

Brass looks nice and the Lunsford Titanium is a very nice touch!

[CODYBOY]

Thanks Nate, I have a question for you or anyone who can help. Does the alum chubs fit the axles with the same fitment as the stock ones? I'm trying to get a feel for tolerance when I turn the brass beef tubes.
Ernie,

[Poprivet]

Axles look great Ernie. Plenty of weight right where you want it.

Has Lunsford ever thought about making crawler links?
