My first post here, I tend to use social media (FB Instagram) it is instant and Photobucket can not ruin your thread.
well I posted some photos and remarked how much fun it is to remove the rear springs specially when it has been boxed.
A gentleman pointed out that most boxing is carried out incorrectly due to the fact the Chassis is made from a high Carbon steel.
Now this comment high Carbon steel intrested me some what.
the way I see Things you have four grades, low middle and high Carbon followed by tool steel. low being the softest and Tool being the hardest.
So making a channel out of 3.3mm high Carbon steel sheet is going to a challenge due to hardness and reluctancy to bend or being welded in cold state.
Did they hot press them in the factory?
I myself am not sure if this is the case that High Carbon was used, as the metal is workable on the Chassis.
anyone know more?
