Default Repro problems....

Hi Stew......

The only way to make these tire/wheel clamps would be with a huge press and appropriate dies....... I beleive that they are 3/16 thick..... the compound curves are murder...

Following the process done by Phil W. to make the engine cover of the cab 12..... you could cut a number of subassemblies.... heat and shape to appropriate curve then weld back together and mucho grinding to hide the welds....... a "one off" is feasible with patience..... doing a number of them would be $$$$$...although a lot of people would want one......

Slaughtering the bull for BB 2 next week......

.... the neighboring farmer doesn't know yet!!!!!
