Rear bar and Carrier by Rampt Customs

[TheTree]

Hi

I thought I would start a separate thread for the Rampt Customs project.

Where is the licence plate going to go? Assume a light is fitted. Impressive work. Assume tje mudflap will be tacked to the bar once the rear silencer is addressed.

Hi Mate

The license plate is on the Jerry Can carrier with an LED light on it. I am going to mount the light higher to give better coverage of the plate.

The mudflap I am still thinking about, I am thinking something could be attached to the flange benji has left at the bottom, or simply longer ones attached at the top and pinned at the flange

Looks really well. You must be, well, rapt. Does that qualify as a pun. What's the tyre size on there?

[davidsonsm]

Looks like it'll take bigger.

Hi

Standard size 16" right now, but the bar was engineered to take up to a 33" tyre

A set of bighorns on 18" rims would be nice to have in the garage:D

I half expected to see a clone of my bar design. I'm a little deflated now...


She looks good though. I assume sloping the wheel forward helps reduce the overhung load?
I'd be interested to see how they ended up mounting this to the chassis. When I did mine I had to cut off exhaust hangers and drill through the chassis rail.There aren't too many viable options, unless you start welding cleats to the chassis. The original bumper mounts are pretty flimsy.

Never fear mate, your design is going to be on another P38 very soon ;-)
Just gotta be able to open it in PDF instead of CAD so I can decipher the bits!

Hi Mate

I gave him all the photos you supplied, plus your CAD stuff. However he is more of a one off type of guy, so he took a lead from your design but added his own stamp to it!

He actually welded some nuts to the chassis to make them captive, and did not use the original mounts at all. I will try to get some more pics today.

Keithy,
If you want I can print the file to PDF at work and upload it. It won't really tell you that much as there are bugger all dimensions etc, but I have colour coded all of the different pieces so it at least gives an idea of what goes where. The fold lines and fold angles are drawn on the lazer cutting profiles, along with the plat thicknesses.




Otherwise you could download a free Autocad viewer program like TrueView. Usually they have a facility to take measurements off the drawing.


Let me know what you need and I'll see what you can do. Gotta look after the NQ P38 crowd, we are a rare breed!

Thanks mate! Pete sent me a PDF version, but as you say, there are little to no dimensions.

Would be good to get the dimensions added!

Realistically, as I'm only chasing your bar and wheel carrier design (with mods to the wheel carrier so I can put twin 33's on the back), I'd only need those. The sliders, etc are not required!

Something I can take into a steel fab workshop and say "cut and fold this" would be perfect as I'm not close to any boilermakers at the moment!

Cheers (sorry for the thread steal Steve!)

Hey Steve,

Great looking bar mate - very jealous. I have had my P38 for almost a year now and am starting to look at things to make it more of a capable tourer etc. I would love a set of draws in the back for the fridge etc so I am thinking about a rear bar.

Do you mind me asking how much it cost to have that bar made up by a boilermaker?

I see some of the other bars produced from companies are quite expensive so wouldn't mind an idea of what it cost to have it specifically made.

Thanks

Jeff

Hi Mate

It was not a cheap investment; all up 3,500 including the rock sliders. You can take off about 750 for the sliders

Keithy (and others)
Almost finished the PDF drawings with dimensions, for the bar at least. Just need to squeeze an hour in at work. The bare bar is cheap, less than 500$ if you get it lazer cut and folded in a shop then weld it and paint it yourself.


I also drew up variations for the swingaways in cad. A modified dual swingaway wheel version and a wheel with 2 jerry can version.


Will post the PDFs for the bar up soon.


Not sure I'll get back to dimensioning up the swingaway fabrication for a while. Busy at work again.

Thanks Steve

Maybe a little beyond me for now. If I do go ahead with putting in some draws I might just through the spare on the roof rack.

Thanks again

Hi

If you have the skills and gear there are a couple of very nice designs doing the rounds on this forum :p

I too am thinking about drawers very soon

Keith have you seen the one from the Gold Coast that gets advertised on evilBay for $1650? See item no. 321413899606

[Keithy P38]

Looks like it didn't sell either! I'll give him a ring before I buy my materials.
