While I have been slacking on progress with the influx of work and other matters, I managed to get off one side of my titanium rear shock plates while in Detroit and had it welded this morning at Accurate.
Though it is a handsome metal after welding and waiting for the titanium shock bolt to be installed aside from final file finishing, it only came in at 1/2 pound lighter than the stock unit. One pound total for both sides.
That is probably because I decided on 5/15 thick titanium plate instead of the more weight friendly stock 3/16 plate thickness.
I just want to make sure it all holds together back there during launches.
What say ye?
