Re: Re: Rock bouncer front axle beef???

I'd want the whole deal to press together, heavily. Any clearance at all between the tube and C is strength you are giving up.


Yes you could/can get enough weld around the tube/c interface to hold it all together, but I'd be mindful of overheating the axle tube material and making it brittle. Doesn't do any good for your C to stay on the tube, if the tube breaks 1/4" inside the weld.


I would hope he is retubing the 14b center with some new 3.5" x.5" wall tube, rather than using the stock 14b tube...
