Kelly,

I believe that Brian posted a drawing of his about a year ago. It is very detailed.

[Kelly 1,028]

I have the drawing, I don't see the thickness, I'm leaning to 1/4" or thicker.

[stevebo-(Moderator) 8,059]

I am not sure however I would think 3/8 min.

[baerpath 517]

Checked mine there 1/4

[fireman 1,021]

It's says right on the drawing 1/4" Stock. The main piece that it's welded to is 3/8".

Thanks I seen the upright part was 1/4" but was not 100% sure if the 3/8" ment the hole or the plate size, I kinda planned on the 3/8" if I didn't get a for sure answer.

yes the main U shaped part is 3/8" and the weld on piece for the upper link is made from 1/4" stock

thank you, I never made it to town today with the weather and doing a few things here, so tomorrow I'll pick up some steel, to fab up a mount.

Out of curiosity, where is the original drawings listed for this 3-pt fab?

[Kelly 1,028]

I think the drawing is from a parts list, but Brian, Buckrancher added the dimensions to it when a member I think Martin asked for them, and it might be in the build Brian did on a nice C-195 he did a year or so ago.
