Front load washer spider bracket fix. Custom/homemade spider bracket!

My dad found a Frigidaire front load washing machine in a metal scrap yard that looked brand new and he bought it for $10. We assumed something was broken inside and began disassembling it, the tub felt loose and wobbly right away. Everything looked brand new with no cobwebs, dust or mildew on gaskets, ect. Once we took it all apart we found that the spider bracket on the back of the tub was broken in 3 spots and the bearing hub was completely loose from the tub as seen in the video. After pricing the part online we knew it was not cost effective to pay $300+ to fix a used washer so my dad decided to build the part. I took photos as an after thought because I've seen lots of people having the same problem and thought a few might benefit from it. I wish I had thought about pictures during the process but this should give you an idea about the structure and how it is made, you can build this with varying designs so take what info you find helpful and give it a try. The most critical part is centering the bearing shaft perfectly and also measuring to the top of the shaft where the pulley bolt goes and measure down to the edge of the tub and repeat in all 4 directions to make sure the shaft is square with the tub. This is definitely not an easy fix but the materials were less than $20 and I have a good as new washer for a total of $30.
