You need to fit the cylinder into the frame so that when it is fully extended, the press foot is in the correct spot to eject the brick. You will need to torch holes in the horizontals for the pin which goes thru the cylinder, and weld DOM tubing to hold the pin.
Lay the frame down, with all of the crossmembers and drawer members in place except the upper crossmember and drawer member which are facing up.
Place the assembled cylinder lying down so that the press feet are between the spacers. You need to insure that the vertical height is correct, and that the cylinder is centered.
Insure the magnet holder nut (welded to the press feet) is on the same side as the sensor holder hole (hole in one vertical).
The top of the upper press foot should be (4 3/4" for normal)(6 3/4" for monster) away from the bottom of the upper crossmembers.
Add a 1/8" spacer (big washers work great) under the cylinder, where it contacts the lower crossmember. This insures the cylinder is centered vertically. Where to put it is circled in the first image.
Make sure the cylinder is centered, using a speed square pressed against the side of the cylinder, and a tape measure to the to the vertical members as shown.
Make sure the tubing for the pin is square with the lower crossmember using a speed square.
With the pin held in, tack the tubing on the top in place.
Make sure the tubing is pressed up against the cylinder, that is that its as far into the hole as possible.
Youll want to tack it in many places before welding around it, at least 8 on each side.
Tack it as best you can on the bottom by hanging the frame off of the table and overhead welding. Again, insure the tubing is pressed up against the cylinder.
Remove cylinder and pin, as well as the two crossmembers.
Fully weld the tubing on both sides. Jump around a lot to minimize any warping on the tubing.
Block the insides of the tubing so no spatter goes inside. Big washers work well for this.
Step #6: Re-Assembly
Replace the crossmembers and the cylinder.
Insure the pin still fits and hammer it thru.
If the pin doesn't fit, you will need to make it fit.
Tighten the bolts on only the bottom crossmember. Put the pin thru the crossmembers and the tube.
Mark where the bolt holes need to be torched away for the bolts to fit through. Torch it and you're done.
