As an (ex) jig designer I would have drilled straight through the main square of the tube and put the bolt all the way through before welding. That would insure the bolts are parallel. Just welding the bolts on may result in a mechanical lock if the bolts aren’t square on. Nice welding. Very neat.

Justin , I might have a tip for you when you use emery cloth on your lathe. I was taught to lay a rag on the lathe bed ways when using emery cloth. The reason being that the grit on the emery cloth comes off while your using it and it sticks on the oiled bed ways. Then when you move the saddle or tail stock on the bed ways with grit on them you will start to sand down the bed ways and will start to create a swayback or low spot. This will make the lathe untrue in its future. Just an observation from a fan in Alaska.

Ruffstuff Specialties sells some baller tube bungs for square tube, I think with those you wouldn't have the issue with the corner gaps. When I built my three link on my Jeep I heard horror stories of the rod end threads seizing in the bungs from heat so I coated them with antisieze before welding. Awesome video, I like seeing some suspension Fab on here!

Nice work. My instinct for a threaded pin is to measure what 5 thread engagement is near the end, then split the remainder in half for the adjustable portion/initial location before adjustment. Locknuts can put a pretty good load on mating surfaces, so having only 2 or 3 threads engaged is just trouble waiting to happen.

First off. I love the vids.. Second. When you were sanding the tubing on the lathe I had a little cringe. I have had emery paper tear while doing this . If yours would have torn, you would have gone forward towards the machine. If you have the paper looped around the backside and pull towards yourself. If it rips you will go in the happy direction.
