Is there a drawing or something somewhere that I can use to have them made up and welded in the correct position?

I thought i had pics somewhere, they are a very simple design of folded plate.
Should be able to find pics online somewhere.

What are LRA asking for the ute kit ?

Last time I looked it was $2500 for a style side and $2300 for a tray back ute kit.

Thanks for the link. I will pm and find out exact measurements to ensure it goes together properly.

The kit is $3200 plus freight and if you live in Melbourne, the freight is cheap. To get it here is at least $500.

Once all the supplies of this run are gone, they probably won't run another lot. Age of the vehicle and popularity being reasons.

Shame , same kit could be used on d1 and d2.

I have a D1 wreck, with the engine out, that we can take plenty of measurements from. Heck as it gets later in the wrecking I may even hack the mounts out for you if nobody wants the chassis in a reusable condition.

Then again, might be easier to plonk the RRC body on my chassis.

That would be super fantastic!

Even just accurate measurements of the mounts and where they are placed on the chassis rail would be beer worthy.

Keep me informed, if you can, on how that wreck is going.

Just a quick message to let you guys who are following this thread, that I havent forgotten or given up on this project.

Currently i average 55hrs a week at my full time job and are completing another 12-18hrs a week in my own side business after hours, plus two children under 3, spare time is a rare asset.

I have spent A little bit of time seeing if I can get the 2.4td going and trying to source a gearbox/transfer case for it. A 300Tdi set up isnt preferred ATM do to time and money constraints.

I havent ordered the kit yet due to time and laziness and I wont get a chance to start cutting things until this rain and stupidly hot weather settles. Do not want it open to monsoons.

Does anyone know of a diesel spec LT77 gearbox/transfer case sitting around? Dont care if it needs work. Have been offered a R380 + TC but will hold off if i can get a 77..

Bring on the dry season I say!
