- I've been sitting on this project for a while and am finally ready to get to it and build a really unique Mini Chopper. In this episode I get the Predator 212 Hemi running after sitting for years and work on a foot brake for a rear hydraulic disc brake. Stay tuned to see all the future videos of this build. Drop a comment below and tell me what you think about this project.

Looks cool to me.
The reason stainless bolts get stuck into their threaded holes is due to galvanic corrosion. Look up the anodic index chart. It will tell you what metals are similar in metallurgy to be used depending on the environment. They assign numbers to each of the metals, and you don't want a certain number difference in dry conditions, humid and sometimes wet conditions, or constantly in contact with wet. conditions/high humidity. I deal with it on a regular basis in the plumbing word, as I'm always working with steel, brass, bronze, aluminum, stainless, zinc, etc that's why you should never connect copper pipes directly to the steel nipples out of a water heater. Just FYI. It's good info to know if your engineering and fabricating stuff
Great info. I have just learned the hard way with stainless bolts
I would reinforce the axle plates with some thicker metal, 3/16 at least. And why did whomever make that, not take the down tube from the neck and cope it to the cradle hoop? Seems they created a significant weak point by squeezing it down like they did. Could cause it to bend right there if you ever hit enough of a pothole when riding or bottom out the frame. That's just my opinion though. I'd cut that tube up higher, get another section of tube and cope it where it meets the cradle, then use a plug inside the splice with some rosette welds and a butt weld. But nice progress this far
Good suggestions. I have thought about those as well. It comes down to how much of it I want to rebuild.
I'm not there, but it looks like you could of fab'd a spacer to go between the foot peddle and the outside washer for brake peddle, than you could remove the peddle, if need to, by just removing the foot peddle. Just my thoughts.
Ya I thought about that then just decided it didn't need to be removable. I was thinking about just using a 1" collar instead of welding a washer on there
