So I thought I had better make something to hold/clamp it in place, I have no idea if it really needs to be clamped in place or not but Swag seem to think so.OK , Now I am officially suffering from tool envy , I know it is a bad thing to admit , but I can't help it . This means I have to put together the materials , make a spot in the shop , build it and then I will be alright again , (for a while). Thanks a lot ! ! ! !
Now welding is out because I have painted it so I made these, - no not the pencil.
They fit one on each side.
The slot allows them to slide into place
There is one on each side I can slide them into place and tighten the bolt.
Not sure if I need them but if I do ...........
Also the astute amongst us will notice the slot isn't parallel this is because the sides on the flanges of the 'C' channel are not parallel one side tapers (thicker towards the web).
