The Lair

Very Cool Randall! Very Cool indeed! You should make me something. I just don't know what I need.

 

It’s quite fun making things. I’m not sure what’s next.

 

A swingout maybe?

 

I was thinking more a crib.

 

You better put some decent casters on it because that thing is gonna weigh a ton!

 

Well done. I need to make some of these. Those damn softopper arms are crimping my style.

 

I used 1/2" carriage bolts because I discovered the square portion fits nicely in the hi lift holes, so once I tighten up the wing nut, the square portion holds the hi lift nice and snug. I just ground the circle part into a square and welded it onto the face of it. It worked pretty well. The wing nuts I got from mcmaster carr and also work perfectly with the hi lift.

2" carriage bolts?

 

I think so, maybe 1.5". And used these in the rail. Somehow this was my first time buying the machined nuts like that. I've always worked around them because I'm cheap, but damn they are nice.

Reading comprehension is a lost art these days.

 

woahwoahwoah I never said how long the carriage bolts were.

 

They're sweet. I've got a shitload of those floating around in my console.

 

Exactly.

 

Thank you for defending my honor, Randall.

That's the diameter roberto

 

Your honor went out the door long ago with your virginity under the school bleachers with little Becky Schumaker.

 

Becky gave great top

 

relentless hilift brackets supposedly clear the softopper hinge...

 

Unless there's a softopper specific one I didn't click on I'm not sure how that could be true. I like Randy's design because I think I could store rod holders in them as well. Gotta use up every square inch in an SB.
