AE86 rear Traction bracket prototyping~ V.09

When i was in KGC last week, some KE friends approached me and ask if i can made them something which catch-ed my interest. 
A traction bracket which installed under the axle where adjust the traction rod lower to point downward which will  help pushing the axle on the ground during acceleration. 

So after coming home and done some homework later~  i decided to made a prototype first to try on mango. And since i had a spare axle lying around. So i take it as my 'model' to fashion the brackets.
 After much consideration i decided to work it out from 6mm think of steel (which is the thickest metal i had in my factory) for it would take up a lot of stredd during hard cornering/drifting~
 Steps by steps measure out the holes on the axle and precisely drill the hole out to screw on to the axle.
final testing before weld them together with another piece of steel to add strength.  
Finally them become one~ i only use normal arc welding here for my MIG will only be coming in January next year~ so the final products will have stronger bond~ 
finally give my prototype V0.9 a bright RED coat to make it stand out from the dirty old axle~ :P lol~ 
Will do a test report later when i fix mango's axle, yet again~ 

stay tune~ chao~
