The welds on some of those brackets are absolutely retarded.
Another prime example fo people worried more about how the welds look (like TIG) rather han making them structural. Individual spots welds place one on top of the other is ridiculous and should not be used for structural welds.
Individual spot welds cause excessive stress risers on each spot plus it allows slag and other impurities to collect between welds, plus it doesn't get the penetration that a proper weld would have.
But I don't know **** about welding
Otherwise it's looking sweet

Speaking of which, my TR beadlocks were supposed to be here by midweek, I hate waiting for stuff.
You should have just picked them up and saved the shipping cost.

The rings are made out of sheets of 6061...not forged

I bet they never come apart though.
I had to go back and figure out :wtf: he was talking about. They look fine to me, this ain't a nuclear reactor.

I tell ya what...lets head to the local community college and you can run a WABO plate using the tack...tack...tack method and then we'll cut, grind and bend it and see how well it does...I guarantee it will fail.
It's not a recognized welding practice for a reason and being that those are structural welds why take the chance?
What would you rather have:
1. A structural weld that will hold your axle to the vehicle, or
2. A weld that looks pretty and has all kinds of issues?
I don't see Currie, Dutchman or any other axle manufacturer using that welding process...but maybe you all and Dean know more than they do?
