Guest M. Miller Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 What is the composition and weldabilaty of the front axle beam on my 28/29 Dictator? Cast steel, or forged. I need to rebuild the pivots for the front brake levers that someone cut off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Layden B Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 Basic safety would dictate a search for another axle. May be more economical as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M. Miller Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 That is my first choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F&J Posted February 8, 2013 Share Posted February 8, 2013 It is most likely forged steel. If it's like a Ford forged I beam alloy, they weld super nice and there are many thousands out there that have been welded, straightened, or dropped for hotrods...and they are safe.Look up spark testing, maybe on youtube or google. That will tell what type of steel it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
