131 1105 Custom Full Float Axle - welding Spindles - Photo 12

vOnce aligned and tacked in place so the spindles won't pull, Forrest Moore began welding them in. We machined a deep bevel in the spindle to allow a nearly 1/2-inch-deep weld to adhere. Bryan McCully slowly turns the housing on the stand as Moore runs the Miller MIG welder. Care should be taken to protect the spindle bearing and seal surface from weld spatter.
