Gary Lewis Posted February 7, 2020 Share Posted February 7, 2020 That is cool! What software do you use to drive it? And to draw in? Think you'll branch out into push bars? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about Fusion 360, but I understand the headache bit. Boy did I hit my head against the wall doing the 3D for the speaker patch! Are the tubes for the bush bar welded to the side frames? I have a Ford one and the tubes bolt onto the side frames. At least one tube is bent, and I've always planned to take it off and replace it as it looks easy. If I remember correctly, the tube has a piece welded in the end and it has a nut welded to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On mine, yes, tubes are welded. When making these for others, I plan on supplying the side frames and fog-lamp mounts, you get you own tubes. This is a SUPER saver on shipping.... I don't remember if I ever sent you a complementary dash patch.....Want one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But will you supply any drawings to show how big they usually are and where they go? On the dash patch, sure! I'd like one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are interested, I can supply you with pictures and dimensions of the full size push bars that are a little taller, like this one. These ones sit the top tube above the Ford emblem, although not in my pic due to the slight body lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
