I decided to re-arrange my rear body pivot so that I have some adjustment of the body alignment fore and aft. There were pads on the chassis that I had welded in some time ago so I made supports that used those bolt patterns to mount them.
Since I didn't have a band saw, I used a reciprocating saw (HF) and a hacksaw to cut the supports out of a 1 1/4" aluminum plate- 7075-T7. To keep the recip saw blade from skating around, I used a hacksaw to start a cut and then used that kerf to make the recip saw cut. I quickly found out that the Harbor Freight "bi-metal" saw blades weren't worth a $hit. Lennox and DeWalt blades worked just fine, though. Lots of work making those cuts! The cut edges were dressed on a belt sander using 3M Cubitron II abrasive.
1/2-20 tapped holes allow rod end (Heim) bearings to thread in and out to provide the adjustment. Of course, I primed the aluminum parts with Zinc Chromate.
