II Much Fabrication FabBosses

[parsonsj]

FabBosses are ideal for mounting electronic boxes, interior panels, fluid reservoirs, cable and plumbing runs, linkage bases, ground points, etc. They are mild steel, with a wall thickness of .060, so MIG welding to sheet metal is a quick operation. They can also be easily trimmed for welding to irregular surfaces, or notched for mounting to tube.

Using FabBosses minimizes the aesthetic problem of protruding bolts or sheet metal screws, and eliminates that old problem of stripped sheet metal screw holes. It also speeds up the fabrication process in another way: bolt the device to a FabBoss, position it in place, and tack weld. Getting your MIG torch into tight places is always easier than a drill.

One other feature is that the face has a rolled radius so they can be left visible in interior panels.

Watch our blog (see signature)… I’ll be using them all over the place as our Project Unfair goes into high gear.

We’ve got them in stock at $7.50 apiece. For the time being, email me at [email protected]. A new web store is coming soon.

Here's some pre-production FabBosses in action:

They are 0.75" in diameter, 1.25" long, with 1/4-20 threads.

Very cool idea. I need a few of those soon. I'll be in touch!


Edit: I have been reading your blogs, great info in those. Thanks for taking the time to post there. I know it's going to help me a lot on my own projects.

You're welcome, and I appreciate that feedback very much! Sometimes I think only my wife reads it.

Those are really nice. I will be getting some soon for sure. That is exactly what I was looking for to use in a couple different areas of my build.

Great product ! Wish I'd had those available a few years ago.
