    Great video! A suggestion that you probably have solved by now and that is start you lead in cut either at one of the corners or in the curve that is gonna be welded. I don't know anything about the Crossfire but using my 15 year old homebuilt with Cambam, I can move the lead in cut anywhere that I want to. I am impressed with your Crossfire and your plasma cutter! Keep up the good work!

    On this type setup, what keeps the nose of the differential from pointing up and down while accelerating?

    • @alpinefab
      @alpinefab 5 днів тому

      That would be the separation of the lower and upper links. The axle is trying to wrap but the triangulation from the upper and lowers will prevent that. Typically the rule of them is have the distance for axle side mount upper and lower to be 25% of your tire diameter.
