Thread: Marks 101

Hi Mark. just seeing the fun you're having with the rear x member. If you need measurements, Pete (puma130tc) has his 101 at chassis stage. It'd be easy to get rear X member measurements from him now.. Cheers.

Thanks simon. Will catch up as heading to adelaide this week. Funny thing, it appears as though the previous repair wasnt set at the right height. I had to reposition the chassis to get the outriggers on

before I butcher the remains of my cross member off of my rear axel, does anyone know what size the shackle bolts are?
as you can see from the photos, there's not much left of the rear cross member.

the final rust was cut out yesterday and now being prepared for welding, should be back together in a couple of weeks. below the chassis are the braces for the drop plate on the drawbar, very heavy but excellently made, sleeved through the chassis and the drop plate, not in picture, completely wrapped around the bottom of the rear cross member.

Great to hear you're almost done with the rust.

Now you can get stuck into more fun stuff. Glad to see you took the time to do the job properly - you'll have a cracking vehicle once you're done.

I might have to pop over and take a look Mark

Wayne is dropping down, may time it to catch up with you both...

That'll look schmick Mark.

Be very pretty all under there now
Going gloss black?

Although it's not all good before you could have all 4 wheels
On the ground at once on a ramp etc due to chassis flex!!

my mate has made a bit more progress this week, starting to look the part.
heading to Montrose to pick up some more parts this week, fingers crossed it will see sunshine again in a couple of weeks
