That would be the best way, "unfortunately" I have already welded most of the frame so I can´t do it that way. I have a friend who builds top fuel chassis (LG Eriksson, ME Racing) who probably could take a look at my work and hopefully give me thumbs up. Would that suffice?
I mean, is there any rule that says that the welds need to be closely inspected or is it enough that they look ok and haven´t shown any cracks during a couple or seasons of racing?
Tonight I started making the brackets for the fairings, I had to get something done today so I won´t have to be in the workshop all easter.
I strengthened the fairing nose with riveted aluminum and made chromemoly brackets which were then welded to the steering head. I need several more brackets to hold everything in place but at least the fairings stays in place without zip ties now.
The thing that took the longest was to find the right position for the fairings before I made the brackets, compared to the earlier pictures the fairings sit lower and further forward which makes the front fender look a bit less gigantic.
The next step will be to cut down the sides of the fairings a little and strenghten them properly before making brackets for them.
I managed to get three hours in the workshop before my feancee called and told me that our youngest daugher has got stomach flue, this will probably be one interesting easter...
Cheers!
