What thickness of metal should I make them out of??

Jeff McKelroy · « **Reply #1 on:** May 21, 2015, 07:18:34 pm »

minimum .080", just a suggestion.

Are you using flanges or cassettes with your bearings? with flanges, I would use 1/4" for the weldment. With cassettes, the .080 will do.

I am going to use 4 bolt bearing flanges. And I am just going to make my own plates. I have some 3/16 plate but if I need 1/4 I will buy some.

This is what I am going to use

Personally, I would bolt them right to the chassis and call it good.
Back when we used 700's and axles, we would bolt the bearing cassette's right to the chassis. (MTD box frames).

With those, no weldment is needed, just like Ed said, just bolt on square and go.

I think I just agreed with Ed!!!!

Well, yeah. I sometimes agree with me too.

I will probably reinforce it with some 3/16 anyway. Thanks for the information
