I'm sure that this has been done before, but for those with a metal plate and post... a couple $10 magnetic bases and cones makes for a simple little front triangle 'fixture'.

I'm digging your table. Pretty slick using mag bases.

Great idea using the c-clamps...........I can't quite figure out the third pic from the top, why it the tube split?

I didn't catch that either. Its a lug vise of sorts? Split it and braze on a nut to thread through to tighten to spread it out? I think I need to make me some of those. It doesn't spread the pressure out in all directions, but with a thick tube I doubt it deforms the lug much at all.
It's a lug vise. I used a big coupling nut thinking I would need a lot of pressure, but a standard nut would've been fine as little pressure is needed. The tube is mitered so I still have access to the inside of the lug.

All the talk about slotted disk brake tabs got me thinking..................I'm on my last one. So as suggested by one of the best in the business, I will have to design my own (tough love :D ) and to put on all the slotted tabs that I'll be fabricating I finally made a fixture for holding them on instead of the usual donor rotor, hub, and brake caliper. Still ghetto, but much better than what I've been using. Wonder what I should name it....................maybe I can ask the expert on that other thread. :rolleyes:

That's ghetto fabulous. I am so stealing that design.

Enjoy! Just make sure that if you make it using a "donor" frame, you only weld the inner axle nut on the non-drive side of the DO or else you won't be able to remove it from the frame. :thumbsup:

I already, uh, "figured" that out on my similar though less fabulous version. Luckily I didn't weld it, I just had to disassemble it.
