Hi mate, I'm doing well thanks. I hope your keeping out of trouble.

Funny you say that John. This was suggested by my welder mate. Which I plan on doing. I just got to get a bit of angle, the piece I have is too big.

Yeah ease of alignment and I like to stick it well. Bit of paint look sweet.

Due to arm length increase, guess you have realized that the latch and toggle pin plates will need to be re positioned or the latch hook (preferred) on the on the rear bar its self for latch engagement. Need to take the "moment force" into account (Force x Distance).

There is no latches on the bar as yet mate. I haven't actually fitted it. I got it ages ago and never put it on. Thought I'd actually do something about it.

Remember seeing that u were not happy with the carrier and doing the mod sounds a good solution.

So things have stalled. Ugh. My ye’old Bakers drill press that was handed down to me from my dad over ten years ago that was working perfect now working. Well the motor is running but every time the drill got some grip the chuck would just stop. Never done this in its entire life, it’s worked flawlessly for me until now.
Upon closer inspection I find the front pulley it missing the nut that holds it onto the shaft.
It happen to start slipping now!!!

Where in the hell am I going to find a nut for this?

Hmm, think I might just weld the pulley on and be done with it. Can't find parts anywhere for this thing.

So this is where I’m up to anyway. I found a piece of angle which is welded to the hub and plug welded (not finished that ). I then found another longer piece of angle which I’ll put opposite to this one and do the same. This is when the drill press start to slip.

Why is that Mark?

If i am nuffy correct thankyou…Mark….your Mig/Tig/Arc would experience horrible gasses from pre purchased/scored steel Brother
Of course any of us can conjoin any carbon with serious consideration of pre-after treatment suppliers have applied… steel on steel then treat if that makes, my apologies, been sniffing welding atop of pre purchased strip galvanised lengths for too long 🥲

Fark, that made no sense apologies Mark Mate, please do put the hard yards in prepping your steel variants by way of taking them back to basics….coatings be gone for full carbon kinky bondages
