All,
    I would appreciate any advice on a source for the steel s-beam material.
    I checked mcmaster and didn't find any suitable box or U channels.

    I purchased the 0.125 Al plate for the oil pan from Aircraft Spruce and
    am laying out the pieces for the new pan now. I'm also working on a new
    steel mount to relocate the alternator to the air conditioner position.

    Thanks in advance,

    Kenny, it is bent up on a press brake from 4130 .065 sheet avilable
    from Aircraft
    Spruce and other steel supplier companies. Makes sure you get a nice
    bend radius
    in there like 1/4 inch or more.

Digging through the archives, I don't see height / width dimensions for
the beam. Length looks like 25.65"; is this correct? Would someone
please define the height / width?

Also, on some of the drawings the beam bottom appears to be 'open',
while other pictures show a closed box. I'm assuming the closed box is
the way to go? As you might guess, I'm working with a local fabricator
to get one made.

Thanks again,
--Kenny A.


Picture 1 is half the beam. You need two of these and weld them back to back
to make a box.
