Livin' the rat roddin' lifestyle
Just alittle tip for you new guys starting out building ratrods.
Whats wrong with this picture? Well there are two things, first the ground clamp is on the wrong side of the u-joint to be welded. Cuz the ground clamp should be on the same side as the weld so the current doesn't flow thru the u-joint possibly arcing thru the needle bearings and damaging them.
The other thing wrong is that the u-joints are out of "time" with each other. They should be in alignment just like the u-joints of a drive shaft.
Have a nice day!!
