Accumulator Bracket
Finished brackets to secure the accumulator to the chassis
Engineering drawing of the bracket
I machined two brackets whose purpose is to support and secure the accumulator to the chassis. This project requires high precision and ensuring that the important dimensions are not cut too short.
Role
