If you need tubes to be the same on the left and right sides of the car or from front to back, the string line and bubble level can tell you if one tube is higher or lower than the other. There’s more! Adding a bubble level to the string allows us to see if things are slanted. If you have a tube notching machine you can set the angle of that machine using this method. That angle is the angle the tube must be cut to in order to fit correctly. Then using an angle finder, you can measure the strings angle as it sits. The string is ran from one point to another and held in place with magnets. For example you can use the magnets and the string to measure the angle any tube needs to be in the frame or roll cage. With the use of other tools it can make angle measurements. But the string line can do so many more things. Modern laser alignment systems will do this job faster and better but for us DIY folks, the string is the best way to do that task. A good example is when we need to do a wheel alignment on our race car. Sometimes we need something straight as a reference.
When you pull a string tight against two points it makes a near perfect line.
How String Builds a Straight Race Car Chassis and Strong Roll Cage The only major changes to our tools sense ancient Egyptian times is the use of modern materials and magnets. We use the string line tool on our builds in many different ways. And it has lasted the test of time for good reason. Earliest records show them being used to make the pyramids in Egypt. The string line and plumb bob tools have been in use for thousands of years. We ship worldwide to most countries and handle all shipping in-house for your convenience.Ĭondition Report: Small nicks and chips commensurate with age.Old Tools New Projects, Even the ancient Egyptians used these tools
