[QUOTE="DobermanRacing, post: 752648, member: 15299"] Yes I'm running 2" as I expect this to break 4400lbs and anything that's under a 30" span can be 1.75". I've read the U4 rules and there's nothing saying you can't have a partial body for 4400 class. Yeah Idk what I was thinking. I think I just got excited after buying bendtech and put tubes everywhere I could fit one. If found it easier to just design single parts on it. I'm sure as I keep building and getting experience Ill be able to make a full assembly design with it. Right now I just have the engine/trans sitting on top of the lower tubes. I think I'm going to push the chassis back a bit as there is a lot of clearance between the first cross member and the drive accessories. I plan on making the front cross member flanged so engine removal will be easier. Right now the trans would need to come out through the top or out with the engine. Top rail interferes with the thermostat housing. I'm going to have to Google and see if they make one the comes out at a different angle. Tho the top rail isn't welded yet so I still have time to cut down the vertical tubes to lower it. I will also need to make some changes to the pass header down pipe to dodge the upper rail. [ATTACH type="full"]120312[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120313[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120314[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]120315[/ATTACH] I was able to fix my HF notcher's clamp with a M12x1.75 bolt. As the threads only pulled off the T handle while the hole was still good. Leaving Fastenal I spotted this fun day happening. [ATTACH type="full"]120317[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
