Anyone interested in 83 Pace Arrow Tear down and Rebuild?

Here is a shot of the end of the wood and the aluminum angle.











As I said, this was 3/16" thick aluminum, so if I had used 1/8" thickness, I could have saved about 1/3rd of the weight.

Obviously, that would also mean less strength, so it depends where it's being used, as to whether it would be safe or not.
