I was beginning to wonder what I was going to use for the second claw, as I used up my motorcycle fenders on the first one. So I took a trip down Rt 1, stopping at all the motorcycle shops along the way, looking for one more fender. Unfortunately, I couldn't find anyone body who had any...that is, until my last stop at the Harley Davidson shop - thanks Shawn!!!
So, I matched one of the Harley's up with the last old fender I had from the Ant project, and magically I had my second claw!
Then I took a length of pipe, and welded it to two disk breaks, creating a little spindle.
And if you turn that spindle on it's side, it becomes a claw hinge - just like that!
And here it is all welded together - just need to add the face plates now...
