Here's the newly painted frames in place,many all bolted up ready to carry wheels to Melrose and the Flinders tomorrow! :)
And in the open position....
And finally, with wheels!! :) They both fit, and clear everything!! Relief! :D
Looks great! Really ticked off I won't be at Melrose though to look over it...:(
Have a bottle of wine or 3 for me....:D
Looks great, what a beast, can you lift a wheel into position by yourself ??
can someone remind me when / where Melrose is again, I might still be in the area ??
Near port augusta..

I thought this was going to be an issue, and had planned to lift them using the tractor, but one wheel was already in the rear of the 101, so I thought I'll see... With the wheel carrier in the open position, I was able to stand the wheel in the upright position on the rear tailgate, then walk around with it and sit it on the carrier. To get the second wheel onto the tailgate, I used the two jack blocks I carry and rolled it onto these, which gives it enough height to flip it onto the tailgate and then repeat the process. Worked surprisingly well!! :)Quote:
