Frame Slug - Raw - Custom - Pkg 2

Bringin' it home DIY style, no body loves that as much as us! Check out these new universal DIY frame slugs we're producing that allow you to have a safe and easy install of your rear steel hoop or any other customization you might be doing to the frame of your vintage speed machie.

All you need is a vice, an angle grinder with 80 grit flap wheel, a vice and rubber band to get the job done! But before we tell you how, let us tell you why... Even though the rear section of your seat might not bear any load or weight it really is a better idea to reinforce your welded joint where you've installed a rear hoop with an interior slug. By drilling 5/16 inch holes in your tubing and then inserting the slug and rosette welding it into place, you increase the strength of that are 100 fold.

For $20 and the time it takes, it seems like a worth-while investment to us, what about you? With these cool DIY slugs we came up with you simply take your measurements from the tubing you're going to connect together, chuck the slug into a drill that's locked into a vice and then use a rubber band to keep the drill spinning. Simply apply pressure from a grinding wheel and viola! You have an instant and rudimentary lathe which you can use to take down the slug to the proper dimensions.

Once the slug fits both sections of tube simply use a TIG or MIG (drill a bigger hole if using a MIG) and weld up the slug in place. Don't forget to chamfer the edges though so you can get a nice bead all the way around the tube too.

This safe and easy installation will ensure that if you get a wild hair and decide to ride that Blonde home from the bar on your cowl, that she won't come crashing down as your approach the TON!
