I apparently made my jig for the roll bar too narrow for my fuselege, so my roll bar is 1/4 in. too narrow (1/8 in each side). I have come up with 3 options to fix:
1. Buy new parts and start over..$300.00 fix
2. Buy new center strips and splice plates and 1/4 gap in the middle..$30.00 fix
3. Come up with a steel tube type set up using 3/4 in. chrome moly...$?
I'm leaning more towards the 2nd as my welding skills aren't too good, however I've always wanted a TIG welder.
My main question is a 1/4 in gap too wide, cometics not with standing?
