As you can see the bearing is on a threaded rod and I can adjust the length of the rod accordingly. : The plate is 1/2" thick, the thickness of the plate is a overkill for what I'm looking but what the heck, it was a piece of metal laying around the shop. I had to cut and drill the plate. : I got a 1/2" rod and cut threads on it. One end is a 1/2 20 NF and the other is a 1/2 13 NC. : The hardest point was cutting the 1/2" plate. My torch cutting skills a little rusty. After cutting the plate I used the grinding wheel to make it look better. : Sand blasted the entire thing, used a etching primer, flat black paint in the can and that's what I came out with. : I truely don't expect this part to fail again, but that just leaves somewhere else to be the weak point. Heck, if the L-bracket breaks I'll just weld a 1/4" piece of steel up there. Replys:
