Widening will make them extend beyond the base plate base
Yeah, is a consideration in case all the measures you already took still don’t work and bending still occurs.
The wide enlargement will be only at the fork section. Not by much, perhaps a couple millimeters to the external sides. Is not that aesthetically bad if they overlap the truck mounting plate by small marging.
Most truck plates sitting on a drop-through position over the tunning fork almost always never overlap the bracket. So is Ok.
One solution, which we talked about in my thread here would be to weld the two plates together, but you would have to get rid of the space you designed in the middle
Cut the vertical part to shape, to form the dropped shape with folded tabs to form the connection for truck and deck. Drill the folded tabs for mounting points.?
I’m with you on this, but @DavidF wanted a fork …
Also, it’s slanted because I had no truck on the other side… Just a beam to test these, the bracket itself is perfectly straight.
I will progress in two routes:
first will make the same one from stainless
Second will make a new design based on @rosco suggestions
I’ve wanted to do something like this where you and also incorporate an adjustable strut or stabiliser device in the back at the same time to dial out wobble when you need to.
