[discowhite]

all done with a drill a vice and a die grinder, and a bit of marking out

Do you think you should drill an extra hole and tap the axle so that it does not twist back? (does that make any sense???)

I have always thought this, and its one reason I wont be slotting my swivel mounts.

But hey good job in the end.

I'm normally happy to scratch mine, but hey, it takes all kinds.

The holes arent curved in line with the radius ? looks like they will bind when you try to rotate them unless they are oversize and if so they are now paperweights.

Thats some massive slots
mine are about half that to suit 120mm front bumpstop height,
you must have a huge lift

with the super serious amounts of torque when you hit the brakes you will need some form of shims either side of the bolts in the slotted holes to stop them rotating. i dont think just doing the bolts up tight will be enough.

a couple of decent grub screws will prevent that happening......after the alignment has been done.....

this method is used quite a bit on landies......there arent too many others out there you can do this to....
on those cars you need to remove the diff and cut off and reweld the brackets in order to rotate the whole
diff assembly to acheive the same result.....

And of course this will all be certified.....................

you wouldn't want your insurance co to find this after an accident.................

must be BIG GRUB SCREWS to hold most of the 2 ton weight of a land rover.............in a 75mm radius........... in a panic stop.

better you than me mate
