In the Warrior plans (page 73, diagram 4) dimensions are given for the axle tabs that get welded to the bottom of the modified head tubes. Since the dimensions were provided I made my axle tabs to diagram 4. That has created a problem.
If you plan on using 5/8" bolts for axles as proposed by the plans, diagram 4 places the edge of the through hole VERY close to the rounded end of the tab. Clearly this isn't what was intended.
I can probably use what I have because of the thickness of the material and how the tabs are loaded in use. However, will the tabs made to the diagram need to be modified / shortened so the through hole is closer to the FLAT edge that gets welded to the head tubes? I hate to start over and make new tabs but I will if necessary.
I would appreciate your comments and suggestions.
