Never turn your back on a welder
Because.......
Re: Never turn your back on a welder
Unless I'm missing something not the end of the world to sort out with a Dremel or similar tool. May be the threaded bar could have done with being a little longer, that would have most likely avoided the over-spill of the welds.
At least you've got them done

Those mounts take a lot of force at times...a "couples of tacks" is not the better solution.
So be happy for the "mistake"

I aint' planning to sit on it...........
Re: Never turn your back on a welder
Good, though not what i had in mind..
In a perfect wold the bike goes up cleanly and evenly ...... but that ain't reality for every time.
That time the bike gets levered up on just a single spool at some point, and the odd angle that will happen at....the spool that is not just tacked on will stay welded in place...
Looks good, nice welds, clean up the interference and I think you got a right nice MOD there

Re: Never turn your back on a welder
Out of interest, what is the diameter of the bar that you had welded on? I'm going to do the same and it would help. Bobbins seem to be M8 bolts so I was thinking of 20mm bar.

Re: Never turn your back on a welder
To suit these bobbins I had to use a 25mm bar and had a flat milled on to help the welder!!freeridenick wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 4:27 pm Out of interest, what is the diameter of the bar that you had welded on?

I concur, that is why I didn't see anything wrong with the welds. As others have already mentioned, a nice bit of weldingE.Marquez wrote: ↑Sun Mar 18, 2018 3:09 pmGood, though not what i had in mind..

I like the the idea of the flat put on the 25mm bar to aid welding.
