Tab, 1/2 Hole, 3/16 Thick, 3-7/8 Inch Tall

OVERVIEW

When you are deep in the middle of a custom build, whether it is a hardcore off-road sand rail, a rugged Baja Bug, or a specialized tube-chassis project, the quality of your fabrication components can make or break the structural integrity of your vehicle. This A&A Manufacturing weld-on tab is the professional choice for builders who refuse to compromise on strength and precision. Measuring a stout 3/16 of an inch in thickness, this tab provides the heavy-duty foundation needed to handle the vibrations and stresses inherent in high-performance air-cooled VW applications and off-road racing. The 3-7/8 inch height offers exceptional versatility, allowing for ample surface area to achieve a deep, penetrating weld on various tubing sizes or flat plate surfaces, ensuring that your mounted components stay exactly where you put them, even in the harshest environments.

The 1/2-inch pre-drilled hole is perfectly sized for a wide range of hardware, making it an ideal candidate for mounting suspension links, heavy-duty shock absorbers, limit straps, or even structural cross-members. Because these tabs are manufactured from high-quality mild steel, they offer excellent weldability for both MIG and TIG processes, allowing for a clean and professional finish every time. Stop struggling with hand-cut scrap metal that lacks uniformity; these precision-stamped tabs ensure that your project maintains a consistent, high-end look while providing the mechanical reliability that Appletree Auto customers have come to expect. Whether you are reinforcing a stock Beetle chassis or constructing a ground-up desert racer, these tabs are an essential addition to your fabrication arsenal. Don''t settle for inferior hardware when your safety and performance are on the line.
