I am working on a jig to quickly align a soap box derby car axles and wanted to get some advice.
Design layout for Jig
Final Production
The last picture shows the crank that can be turned to push the jig out in both directions. This tightens the jig up against the axles. Unfortunately, it is not working the way I wanted it too and it doesn't perfectly align the axles. In testing, the jig is able to slide left to right to skew the angle it pushes against the axles. To prevent this, I was going to weld braces on each side of jig that wrap over the edge of the soap box to prevent it from shifting left to right.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!
