In my Missing Link Part 1<\/a>, I was still in welding class, and was mocking up the bracket I needed to add to the axle. I was pretty nervous about it, and making and rechecking measurements many times. Well, some time ago, I finally welded it up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When I was done, I invited my welding instructor over to take a look, and she said “Hey, man, those welds aren’t going ANYWHERE”, meaning this bracket is solidly welded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
