  1. Design Jig and Tube Clamps

  2. Manufacture Jig and Tube Clamps

  3. Assemble Tubes with Jig and Tube Clamps

  4. Deliver Assembly to Welders for Welding (Ask welders to only to tack the joints)

  5. Repeat Steps 1-4 Until Entire Chassis is Welded (Tacked)

  6. Deliver Entire Chassis to be Fully Welded

Important Requirement Given by Welders!!!

  • Joints (where tubes meet) must be fully accessible to the welder. Imagine a welder is trying to stick a pen in order to touch the interfacing areas around the ENTIRE joint. This means you should leave a minimum of a 1 inch diameter sphere of open access around each joint.

  • Before delivering the assembled jig to the welders, make sure to sand the areas of the tube that will be interfacing areas in order to remove the black oxide layer on top of the 4130 Chromoly Steel Tubes that are used. There should be at least half an inch of exposed distance from the interfacing area that will be welded.
