Contour Tube Clevis - 1-5/8 Perpendicular

The Contour Tube Clevis - 1-5/8 Perpendicular (MPN: CC163775P) is a weld-on chassis tab engineered for custom suspension, frame, and drivetrain mounting applications in vehicle modification and restoration work. This perpendicular clevis design serves as a structural connection point between tubing members, allowing builders to attach components at precise 90-degree angles without complex bending or multi-stage fabrication. Whether you're designing a custom roll cage, suspension geometry, or chassis-mounted auxiliary systems, this contoured clevis eliminates guesswork and speeds up the build process.

Manufactured from chromoly tubing steel, the Contour Tube Clevis features a 1-5/8 inch nominal tube diameter with a 3/8 inch bore for pin or bolt attachment and a 3/4 inch slot width to accommodate standard fasteners and linkage components. The contoured profile distributes loads more efficiently than sharp-cornered tabs, reducing stress concentration and improving fatigue resistance—critical for high-performance or off-road suspension systems. Its natural (uncoated) finish requires proper surface preparation before welding and allows for easy inspection of weld penetration, making it ideal for professional fabricators and serious enthusiasts who demand precision welds and structural integrity.

This tab is best suited for builders working with 1-5/8 inch chromoly or DOM tubing on custom suspension arms, control linkages, sway bar mounts, or frame reinforcement projects. Mechanics and fabricators working on race cars, rock crawlers, hot rods, and performance street vehicles benefit from the quick-start design that eliminates custom cutting and contouring. Installation requires TIG or MIG welding to the mating tube surface; the perpendicular geometry ensures proper alignment during fixture setup, reducing the need for complex clamping and re-welding. Verify your tubing OD and fastener hole spacing before ordering to ensure compatibility with your specific application.
