Adjustable A frames
Posted: Wed Dec 02, 2009 7:55 pm
Hi All,
Home early to day and tried a 'set up' on the spare modified A frame I have. I have found that the turnbuckle ass'y has gon SOLID and will not turn. It only moved around 1/4 turn and the threads then felt to be 'picking up' Good coating of copperslip before welding did not help.
So .... back to the drawing board. I am going to test the other one in some tube I have and see if the same happens. I suspect it will.
Keep you posted.. Any pro welders out there have any ideas as to why? I would be interested to know.
Alex....
Bugger!!!
