Re: pic: Sheet Metal WCD

Wow looks great. However, I have two suggestions. The top CIM looks like it could warp the plate backwards if it isn't thick enough. Also, I know personally that chain inside tubes is typically problematic, though not impossible. I would recommend all gears if going inside the rails, and even then, you need large access holes. A better alternative would be to let the chain be outside the rain, so you can tension it with ease and access it more easily.
