the next little project is the tail shaft crossmember. i was looking at how to notch it to gain clearance for when it gains some height and suspension travel, and just when i had it all worked out in my head a mate came around and said " why don't just cut the crossmember, spin it and weld it back in"
well that's a lot easier than what i had planned!! so that's what i did. i used my exhaust pipe cutter to scribe a nice straight line around the bar and ran through with the thin cut off disc. cleaned up around the cut and put a V groove to weld it up.

this photo doesn't quite show the amount of extra clearance gained but when i spin the tailshaft i'll make sure it is enough but i'm pretty confident that it will be heaps and with a bit of black paint over the top it doesn't stick out like a big notch would have so hopefully i can fly under the radar a bit with it.
