    Definitely not a weld washer. These are weld washers

    I think those are just sleeves that the bolts that hold it in place go through. I would weld em up just to be safe.

    Yep, I see what you mean now. Yes, I would weld them 100%. Not sure why TC didn't do it in the first place.

    You can weld those up for piece of mind. With them being sandwiched between the coil bucket and the hoop they shouldn't move. Especially since bolts are running though them

    Yes, I would bolt them to each other tube to tube (tee hee) when you weld them so the tubes don't pull and move from the heat.

    For the popcorn people lol . LSK were NOT the ones that are copying ideas. It was simply myself. I showed them stuff from other Company's to see if we could make a spindle with the other great benefits that other companies had to put into their stuff. Because I wanted a spindle that way. Just for myself, but since were all on a budget especially myself. I know that getting at least a few people in on it would be more affordable.

    And also Chris "BBM" I did ask you for lots of advice. But I had no intentions at that time that we should sell a spindle. It was only for me. Im truly sorry I tried to use you.

    Its all sorted out. Anthony has text me, and LSK Called to clear things up. Much respect to them for being the bigger person and going out of there way to clear things up with me. I should have got in touch with Anthony personally instead of bringing drama to the forums. Its all good!
