Re: Welding round tube to flat stock

So this morning I had a bit of a break threw on a less challenging method there for less likely to screw it up. My thought was to drill threw a pice of flat stock and weld the tube threw instead of welding on the side of the angle http://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/15/02/16/5763b481715a1fc995c582bbba...

Re: Welding round tube to flat stock

So weld the tube on with a good strong bead and then gusset it. That sounds like a fantastic idea. I will do some measuring and may have to trim a radiator support to fit it. If this was a air cooled I would just have a cross bar on the down tubes but the rad makes it a bit more difficult
