The evening of the first day |
I did the donkey work |
Unbolting things |

|

And removing |
The gubbins |
To clear the way for what was to come... |

The cross member and 2 completed bars |
We used the front leaf spring mounting points |
|
|
|
|
|
|
as locators for the cross member |
Making the end pieces for the bars |
Rose joints in newly threaded end pieces. |

Fabricating the mounting brackets |
For the axle |
Me cutting things? |

Not sure, too big |

For a Ford... |
