Makes for a simple, fast hookup.
Love your work Pat.......... How simple is that & a cheaper alternative to others out there.........Quote:

Need to ask yourself if your welds could handle these sort of loads.
Would be as solid as if the bar goes all the way through (which I am guessing is)
Yes, it does. The weld is only to stop the bar from falling out. We are relying on shear strength with this unit.
