Fabrication Instructions

  1. For the "Normal CEB," torch 3/4" holes in the angle for the cylinder supports in the same manner as with the horizontal members.(19" apart, 3/4" diameter)
    • For the monster, don't worry about the holes, you'll mag-drill them later.
  2. Weld the 2"x2" angle (5.75") centered and squared on one side of the U-Channel(for "monster") or angle (for "normal", weld it to the side without the holes).
  3. Torch a hole (3/4" for "normal") (1" for "monster") away from the end of the 2"x2" for a 3/4" bolt and grind it clean.
  4. Place a steel nut over the hole and insure it is clear for a bolt and flush.
  5. Weld the nut in place.
  6. Put a galvanized nut on a 3/4"x2.5" bolt and thread through the welded nut on each side.
