Need some spacers to keep the clevises from interfering with some of the frame tubes. Also, custom load-spreading washers that my FEA says are important:
-
- Starting the lower suspension clevis spacers by facing, turning to size, and drilling aluminum rod.
-
- Lathe cutting the angled face on spacer
-
- Using a cutoff tool to cut the part off.
-
- Long rod to be used for washers is center-drilled for tailstock support
-
- Aluminum rod is lathe-turned to correct outside diameter.
-
- Rod is milled flat to half diameter
-
- Drilling holes for bolts that attach clevises to frame
-
- Washers are cut to approximate size with angle grinder, then faced at 30 degrees with this setup.
-
- Eight lower suspension attachment clevis assemblies finished.
-
- Each assembly consists of these eight parts.
