10 / 10 for effort , anyway .
NOW , have you put a LEVEL on the FLOOR . :lol:
One thing to watch is you dont get thehead tube / bearing seats , out of round .
RIGHT : your coach bolts are to short ! :twisted:
Listen very carefully , I will say this only once .
The Cross Member at the rear of the main tube , is an intersection of several things , fairly immoveable , and a good base datum .
if you put a good 4 x 2 , or RHS across the floor , shim to dead flat loaded . ( spirit level ) and START from there - aligning to the zero degree datum .
Pay to have a fine centerline at NINETY Degrees , idelableish . Ends scoured to reestablish if walked on .
This way a plumb bob and centerlines etc can be utilised . One Metre RODS through the two main ISO bolt lug pairs , give good eyeball for accuracy .
( tiny wedges belted in if the fits loose hold accurate ) Remember , try and figure how itsbeen misaligned . tecnically you reverse order of collision .
also remissaligning PAST the reverse degree under load , untill it sits back past neutral point - then reverse force to ' Tap ' back to Spot On .
However its much better fun to get a smart 18 yr old ( :lol: :lol: ) to hold it down on the back lawn , whilst you assail it with a large rubber sledgehammer .
( if youve got a grid iron body suit handy
)
The Idea of putting a big U gusset in under the top tube , is , if youve set it straight and held it straight , it aint going to missalign again .
Also you will double the torsional ridgidity twixt axles - meanin youll be able to run over a penny repeatedly at speed .
