Finished the upper tabs. Had to strip it down to the bare frame again to get access for welding them.
These are .063 as well. Probably could have used .040 for all of them but .063 is more forgiving to my welding ability.
Raised the tabs until the sheet cleared the set screws in the lock collar.
All these are for really is to keep the sheet level so fabricating the piece around the headers is easier and it won’t have any downward pressure on it.
Bolted the header in to check clearance which there is plenty of.
I think next I am going to make tabs for the upper sheet and then finish making the enclosure pieces up front.
I’m also going to add a 1/2” x .035 tube to each side. The fuel tank will be secured to the 3/4 tubes and they flex a little more than I would like. Adding a 1/2” tube will take all the flex out and make sure the fuel tank doesn’t see any stress on the welds. Tube with blue tape is the one I’m going to add.
