Tube is cut and squared. I made a trip to Industrial Metal Supply this morning to grab something/anything to use as a tube jig. Fortunately, I found some heavy channel in the remnant bin that is perfect. $8 for 5'. I only needed 16", but I'm sure I'll find a use for the rest.
Measurements are dead on. Wear from the oil seal confirms. Axle spins freely with no binding. I like it.
I'm going to re-check all my measurements and positioning of everything one more time tomorrow. Then I should be good to weld.
Also dropped $12 on this the other day.
The perspective is odd, but I promise, it fits.
