How exactly did you shave your firewall? Did you just make a big plate over the whole left side, or did you make filler pieces for each section?

I used one big piece, well actually two pieces with a joint in the center.

here is a pic of the cardboard template i made

I see..... then just spot weld all along the edges. Thanks for the photo

Nobaddaze · 11-14-2011, 12:31 AM

i did a full weld all the way around. only weld about an inch ata time to keep heat down. then i did some spot welds in the center to keep it sterdy.

x2 looking good.... i thought about making a jig for this before but i never got around to now im really gonna have to do it lol is that 1 1/2 inch tubing your using fot the jig? ....

Nobaddaze · 11-16-2011, 01:12 PM

its some extra 1.25" tubing I had. does anyone know where i can buy just the cross shaft from? maybe a bushing and shaft combo. google has been no help!

thanks for the compliments, super tight budget forces me to do as much as i can by myself.

i had the same problem in my "Featurecam" class. my teacher made me sit in the front row so he could watch my screen.

grayharville · 11-20-2011, 05:22 PM
