Nice subframe you are building Del, really well done, how do you make it all symetrical, just by eye's view or do you have a method for making shapes symetrical?

@Moonfleet41

4 жыл бұрын

Hi Cas, thankfully, symmetry is a natural talent of the eye, you can look at something and almost immediately see the slightest asymmetry, as am sure you're aware, so it's just a case of making one first and then matching the second one to it, and the same with a curve, when you're not using the fixed shape of a pipe bender, it's a case of adjusting the arch until the eye sees a perfect curve... it doesn't always work, sometimes you look at it a week later and you can see it to be slightly out, but as long as it's not engineering critical, then it doesn't matter too much...

Great job del,I wonder ifs new garage is on the horizon,cheers to you both

Del you have some serious patience, good job though.

Really enjoying this build Del, Just a thought on the tank fixing , as you know some tanks slot into place on the front and bolt at the rear , could you adapt the rear hinge into a slot in arrangement and keep it bolt in at the front ? Great video again , your getting pretty good with the pipe bending 👍

@Moonfleet41

4 жыл бұрын

That's a good idea buddy, the hinge is really handy because it means you don't have to actually take the tank off to get access underneath it, there are actually hardly any occasions where you specially need the tank fully removed, it's usually simply access to the underneath area for plugs and air filter... but cool idea, thanks very much for sharing mate!

I know it's probably a bit late but what about a car towing eye to bend the pipe with maybe eliminate the teeth marks from the wrench 🤔 just an idea. It's looking epic so far tho del well done my man pat on the back for sure 👍👍

@Moonfleet41

4 жыл бұрын

Sure thing mate, that's a great idea, I think what works with the spanner best is the stepped neck on it that the pipe rests against, it means on the outside of the curve you get no teeth marks at all, only on the inside, and am shifting over to a pipe bender shortly anyway as I kinda like this tube fabricating thing!
