Making a wishbone

[TopCat1127]

Dont know if this will work, so let me know lol but a simple 3 point jig for making a wishbone, not difficult at all. The wishbone is internally braced using the slot and tag method after being laser cut and formed, probably on a straight promicam hydraulic press. Now you can see why Ford use the pressed steel method, fast and cheap lol

24 hrs later I still feel a tubular solution would be easier but hey, I’m not making them.

It may well be but it would still meed to be gusseted fnar fnar

Agreed, seems less work to me though.

You'd be surprised, laser cut upper and lower would just slot together over the 3 fittings, which would just get tack welded on a jig, then removed for a final weld on all joints and reinforcing tags, very similar to a tubular build, but the tube would need to be heavier guage
