Motor Box
Now that the bottom of the motor box, with swing arm, is done lets "build 'er up" (work on the sides & top)
First, had to do some "mock up" work to get the measurements.
According to the pics, the bottom of the motor box should be just below the axle & the top should be just above the top of the rim, but not the tire.
The bottom of the motor box was supposed to be ~12" wide (between the wheels)
...but, ended up a little wider. (~14")
So, where the top should have been ~16" previously, (we had to adjust it accordingly)
…it now needs to be ~18" wide
Then, another quick "mock up" using those figures & factoring in the angles, it looks like we would need to make the upright "pillars" ~5 3/8".
This should put the top of the motor box just about where we need it to be.
I finally get to use a bunch of scrap pipe that I've has in a bucket for years.
2 - 18" pieces for upper cross bars
2 - 12" pieces for the rear ends of the lower "rib rails"
4 - 5 3/8" pieces for the upright pillars.
Cleaned 'em up, squared 'em up & welded 'em up.
