Anyone seen a thread or tips / best practices for making this type of pinched end support rod?
I have to hang an oil cooler off the motor mount (non Vans, but you guys are the only ones actually doing actual stuff). The inboard side is mounted directly to the engine mount, but the outboard edge needs a couple of support rods to triangulate it back to the mount for support in roll and pitch.
Figured you just take a stainless 1/2" tube, smash the end, drill a hole, round and dress up the end and voila?
