Thanks!



      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.
