Dear Welder Series… Dear Writer… Paul Horton Dear Welder Series… Dear Ross… Thanks for looking at Welder Series’ parts. Paul Horton Dear Welder Series… I have a stripped ford 8.8 rear end and need to put some shock mounts on the axle. Do you guy make anything that would fit the bill? I looked through your product offerings but didn’t notice any items. PS…. brake lines going in next week. Thanks, Dear Stephen… Check out #223501. Thanks for asking. Paul Horton Dear Welder Series… Most that are out there are for front suspension use, and kinda wimpy. What would a pair of these cost, welded, or not welded? no bushings, but I do need 2 pair of jam nuts thanks, Dear Ben… Two hangers for 2″ shackles, welded, with 2 pair of jam nuts, would cost $58.00 plus shipping ($15.00). These would be made for 3/4″ o.d. shackle bushings. Lead time would be about 3 days out of our shop. I hope we can help with this part of your project. Paul Horton You remember our regular old four link kit that we’ve been making for over 25 years? It’s become the smaller sibling with the introduction of our large bushing four link kits. We first showed you the parallel version, and now we’re all set with a triangulated version! It’s a bit beefier with 3/4-16 adjusters and 1-5/8″ bushings. Click here to check them all out. .jpg "Triangulated four link kit") Triangulated four link kit Paul Barber’s ’36 Dodge panel truck is getting a Welder Series Mustang II crossmember kit, and a new HEMI! Grant Schwartz is doing the work. Check out this thread on the Rodding Roundtable… if anyone has any more info, please post it up!
I won’t take too much time here, because I didn’t know him personally, but I did enjoy reading what he wrote. C9 was more than just a tech post kind of guy – he was an actual writer. Here are links to some of his hot rod related stories. I highly recommend taking some time to read them. The Red Roadster, Part 1 Early Ford hubcaps on slot mags tech post There are more Doofus & Whiny stories… just hop on the HAMB and have a look. Also, please feel free to post a link to parts 3 and four of the Red Roadster. Like I said in the thread announcing his death, whenever I saw his name and this picture, the scroll bar would stop and I would read whatever he had to say. I would like to quickly mention that our web store is secure… again. If you encountered the dreaded “This site is not secure” page when you tried to buy something from us within the past few weeks, we’re very sorry for the inconvenience. Can I explain? If you came across the “unsecure site” page, let me assure you that it has been made secure. An easy way to tell if a site is secure is by the address bar – it will turn green as you enter the login portion of a website. Green means it’s safe to go ahead. Thanks very much for your patience through this trial. If you have any questions about our products or our internet practices, please let me know. Dear Welder Series… Dear Mike… For shock mounts, you might check out the 2184 bracket that’s designed to weld to a 3″ diameter tube. The center of the upper shock mount bolt would be about 3″ higher than the top of the tube crossmember. Probably your upper shock mount bolt is 7/16″ diameter. We could supply a piece of 3/4″ diameter tubing (7/16″ ID) for you to cut to length and weld in place of the 1080 tube that normally would be used with this bracket. The other shock mount suggestion would be to use 2 plates for each shock mount, 20493. Put a spacer between the plates and another spacer forward to the shock eye. Probably the brackets should be boxed for strength. I hope this helps. Paul Horton We weren’t there, but we know some people who were… Craig has some great show coverage – if you’re looking for some photos and stories, check out www.MyRideIsMe.com Garth Webb (Webber Chassis) has been in the area building cars for a long time. Conveniently, he’s about 100 feet away in the same industrial building. This has advantages for both of us – he gets to peruse the shelves (daily) when he needs a little bracket or some custom machining, and it’s good for us because… well, I think I already mentioned why. The latest project to squeeze through the doors is a 1957 Ford which will be getting a Welder Series Mustang II crossmember and some other frame work done. Since he’s so close, I’ll be posting some updates as the project moves along. Here are some pictures to kick off the party.
UPDATEHere are some pictures of the front end install on this Ford: |
