narrowing the wide Force rack?

I'd be inclined to take a piece out as close as possible to one end. That way if your join was off square by a fraction, the error would not be magnified.
 
Good stuff Stu. Can't wait to see how it ends up.

I can't believe the manufacturers didn't think about this when designing!

will assemble and see what to do with pullup bar.

ps, never assume that your rack was welded/cut square :rolleyes:
Click to expand...

I reckon just make an offset bracket for the chin bar like you said earlier.
 
How big is the box section and wall thickness?

Can you slide the next size down box inside prior to welding??? As a filler for increased strength?
 
Anyone who knows me will tell you I am never afraid to accept or claim credit....

Having said that, there are no original ideas here from me, you are all over this on your own.
