Modifying rear uprights
Carrying on from my other thread about bolt on shafts with my uprights
they are just not wide enough so was thinking if they were cut down, then have a box section to replace what i cut away.
kinda like a flared wheel arch on a car
here a pic of what needs cutting away.
do you think it would it work and of course be safe.
also anyone localish that is good with a welder that can weld the box section up for me, for a fee of course

If I was doing that I would replace the part taken out with a section of tube, so that the strength is retained. If you understand what I mean,
something like a half moon shape with the end welded shut. HTH Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

Austin man yes that't right
Chippy, i know exactly what you mean, looks like it only needs to flare out by about 10mm so that should work out fine
just need to find a good welder
