    Here is what the boxed internal trailing arm is going to look like. I need to redo the back gussets to come into each other. I don't like the gap between them.

    All .25 or all .125? makes a huge difference in weight and handling.

    There will be a mix of 1/4 and 3/16 depending on which pieces.

    Yes. That's only the inner skeleton of the link. I still need to figure out how I'm going to box it up. It's not like I done this before. :p You have to wait for the finished link.

    Are you going to leave a small gap at the vertices of the closed triangles to allow dirt and water to escape?

    How is water and dirt going to get inside? It's going to be welded and sealed when I box it in. Water/ air tight welding.
