It does become a bit of a pain, but its kind of a trade off between time and damaged that is caused by the static converters on the motors.

You are cleaning the metal before you start welding on it right? That can be an easy night and day difference.

My dad wants a new bench vise for christmas, and I've done some research and settled on Wilton since thier made in the U.S. and their built like a brick **** house. I was wondering if anyone had a line on a good price for these guys, I was hoping to purchase it locally than having it shipped.

I would say 90% of the time a bolt is used in a shear application, and as an engineer I always *try* to make the bolt the designed failure mode. A bolt is much cheaper and easier to fix/replace than a tab or link or rod-end. On my baja car we use Ti bolts that were 1/4" for all suspension and...

To answer all your questions and many more you have read this http://www.carrollsmith.com/books/nutsbolts.html Safety wire doesn't take away from the strength of the fastener, and should technically be used in any application where a mechanical locking fastener cannot be used (i.e. nylock).

Is that supposed to be english? I don't know what you just said.

Yeah I read that after I posted that. It makes sense now... Definitely not ideal. I think I would rather have the splines stronger, and the axle act like as the spring its designed to be.

Thats slightly surprising, but good to hear about.

Were they breaking in the middle of the spline section or at the tapered section of the spline?

x2 on the Duratracs. I have them on my WJ and I do a lot of interstate travel going back and forth from school and home and their awesome.

So are you changing the camber gain or adding any sweep to the front end? How about caster?

No its not... as viewed from the side, caster is the angle of the center line that the upper and lower ball joints make from the vertical. The kingpin angle is the angle between the center line of the upper and lower ball joints and the center line of the tire...

Caster and king pin angle...

Care to explain why?? :corn::corn::corn:

RCV = :5bitch:

Here are mine :fawkdancesmiley::fawkdancesmiley:

What? what are you saying?

Its actually not to make them more like a spring, but to reduce the number and severity of the stress concentrations at the root of the splines.

We gun drill the axles on our baja car, and the #1 reason for this is to turn the shaft into more of a spring rather a rigid member. If you know or can get damn close to knowing the maximum shock loading going into your drivetrain then you can build your drivetrain around that number or a...
