Step 4Assemble the Axle
The axle, axle support, and straps are attached to the chassis frame in one giant step.
Cut the 1x3 to about 26 inches long and position in the middle of the chassis frame. There should be about a 1 inch overhang on each side.
Bolt the 1x3 to the frame with a 1 1/2 inch long 5/16 hex bolt. I used a cut washer and a nut with nylon insert, since this is a crucial connection. You'll have to counter sink the hex head so that it doesn't interfere with the axle.
Before attaching the axle, spin a 1/2 inch nut onto the threaded rod first, then two nylon washers (bushings). Spin two more nuts onto the threaded rod and position next to the conduit straps as shown.
Pre-drill through the wood and angle iron and bolt the conduit straps onto the chassis frame.
