Thread: Electrathon - A Different Kind of "Hotrod"

To finish the axle, it needed to be braced. The front end of these cars sometimes take a beating from bouncing off of curbs, running over parking lot drain grates, and an ocassional collision. To add the appropriate strength to this axle assembly I bent two pieces of 1/2" conduit to about 60 degrees and then trimmed them to fit between the lower part of the kingpin boss and the vertical frame member. I took care here to make both sides as identical as possible. When I was satisfied with the fit I welded both of them in place.
