Where do you find these? I see them on Vansant, just wondering about cheaper options. HF?

I did not know Doug made one (But I would not be surprised!)

Heres a link to ones at OFN

I have a little pair of "VISEGRIPS" with tiny angle iron on them that clamps to any size tube (That I will use) I will get a pic of it later. Its simple. But works great.

Here is the clamp I have made of a small visegraip with two little pieces of angle iron welded to its jaws that clamp to the tube. The vise grip also has a little piece of angle on the back of it for the magnetic angle finder to stick too.


Not the prettiest but works great.

What about the 3 way c clamps? Where do you get those for cheap? I'm looking on ebay and its looking like $20 with shipping for one. Seems kinda steep!

Not completely sure what you mean by a 3-way C clamp? Got a pic or a link to them?

Great! If you get a chance see what 3 or 4 would cost shipped to 87124. I appreciate it Doug! Let me know if you have an extra tubing clamp laying around for an angle level.

OK I looked up 3 way clamps. I ahve seen them before a lot. But never owned one.

I have never used them before either. Or even recall ever seeing one be used. How does one go about using them on a buggy build if they got any examples? Just trying to get a feel for the idea. Thanx Bill

Usually used to edge clamp something like a trim board on the edge of a piece of plywood or other thin stock. Sort of like this

See I see said the blind man. Makes sense to me now a good bit more.

I can see how they would hold wodd togehter like Fabrs mockups.

How well do they stay on tube Doug? Did you tack weld round bits to the clamps so they grab the tube with out slipping off or do they work fine with just the round discs they come with?? Thanx              Bill
