Came up with an idea for a Calmini like axle truss/skid plate that utilizes the under axle spring perches left over from a spring over conversion.
Just wondering what I am getting into if I pass the design onto a welder/fabricator?
I am decent enough with CAD to come up with a model. I can also easily make and show measurements. Curious as to cost of materials and labor. Most importantly is this something feasible or even useful? I already have an upper axle truss from LROR but I want a skid plate too.
In the picture, the rear axle is meant to represent the backside of the front axle. 2 bolts on each side will connect to the old spring perches. And 2 bolts in the middle will attach to a bracket that uses the diff carrier bolts. This way, you can remove the skid plate with 6 bolts.
I welcome criticism. Its how I learn. I especially want to learn more about welding and fabrication. Thank you.
