CJ3A Battery Hold Down Bracket
« on: March 31, 2017, 03:56:29 PM »
Finally got some time in the workshop.  I made a 3A style hold down bracket for the battery.  It�s made with heavier gauge steel (11 gauge) than the original appears to be, but it�s all I had laying around.  It is a pretty easy and fun project.  Not pictured: The hold down rods for the end of the bracket.  (Cutting threads with a dull die can be a frustrating adventure.) >:(

Most excellent fabrication! Good job.
People think I go out of my way to * them off.
Trust me, It's not out of my way at all.

Extremely impressive!
How do you cut and shape your metal?
