52Carl: I was able to find your picture that you referenced in your above explanation. I wanted the other Bolters to appreciate your effort....”a picture is worth a thousand words”. Carl, like you, “I’m not an engineer”, either, and everybody’s got an opinion....I’ll just leave it at that...
That idea looks doable but I would've made my cuts at 90 degrees to the ground. Looks like these ar 90 degrees to the area cut.
If you cut 90 degrees to the ground and welded flat plate to each side of the cut, you would basically be able to move it up and down easily.
This is basically how the bigger trucks are set up.
