Brandon, the lower gusset is actually our .125 thick full size bellypan. This year we had the bellypan and an internal block, no upper gusset. A student pointed out we should try an upper gusset for our 6wd instead, and it turned out to be obviously a lot simpler and easier to make. The internal blocks are a pain to fabricate.

Haha, we've only recently really started using rivets in this fashion, and #10-32 bolts are our standard, so 3/16" matches up well. Our pneumatic and hand riveters only go to 3/16" as well. A "big daddy" is on our wishlist, we'll see what happens. It'd be nice to know we can drill out 3/16" and go to 1/4" as a quick fix.
When we got it tuned to the point where we were (reasonably) confident it wouldn't slam into Dave's ankle, we quit for the evening. - Kevin Watson [more]
