I asked Sam Kekovic to speak to Murphy and he told him to 'get stuffed' and keep away from your project so you should be OK.

Default Supplemental question Sir......

Nice job Bob....

What is the thickness of the plate used for the track assembly....? what would be the original thickness of the side plates supporting the suspension on a UC...?

Will the frame be boxed..... or stiffened with a backing plate inside the frame.....or with additional frame cross members to hold sideway stress....?

Curious and facinated with the design.

Bob C.

Hi Bob C, all credit has to go to Colin and his expertise. I'll let him answer your questions.
