which way did yall do this ?
Im working on fitting the new sections of lower longeron into the tail post. I am thinking of how to
create the swoop in the end where the outer edge bends inward to meet the post.
1. I could try to some how pie slice the tube (?) and bend the outboard of the tubing in-- and pie
slice relief cuts at 90 degrees and weld it back up …..
2. I can leave extra uncut tube hanging past tail post tube--- then I could cut the outboard side of the tube
so the cut opens up the outboard side and swoop it----- then when Im happy with the shape--- cut an oval piece of sheet-- bent to fit over the cut hole and weld it onto the cut- so that the elliptical piece forms a flat-faced swoop.
Im thinking the 2-nd way might not be as elegant as piper did it- (if they pied-it out) but would be a LOT easier and might look just as good as an end result.
which way did yall do it ? I saw several of you doing this lately-----
(doing the tail post sleeve to BTW)
A good close up pick of your swooped end might be helpful if someone has one handy...…
Thanks-
Tim
