Thread: It begins

I can weld alright

Look, no engine mounts, will grab some flat bar tomorrow and make some up, didn;t have ebough material laying around to do it today



Looks like I got the pics better

When doing the shock rubbers this morning, my Panasonic 1/2" corless rattler/drill let the smoke out, but an hour and a bit of ginning around, it works again....it took a dip in one if the water tanks, when the old man was replacing the roof on it a few months ago and got a build up around the brushs

Dude, where do you get the time to do all this work!!! I recon a project like yours would take me 6 months of weekends! Looking tha goods tho Matt

Damn I had a jig floating around somewhere that bolted onto the shock tower studs and plotted the mounts for the Isuzu . That photo reminded me.

I could have sent it down if I could remeber where it is.

Bit late Dranged, but good to know

Dummy fitting



Made





Wogged up



Spit anybody?

Nice job on the mounts Look like they are ment to be there Don't leave the rangie on the spit to long or it might dry out and not leak

Cool.

Is the lower part of the mount joined to the intersection of the bottom plate/side wall or is it up on the side of the chassis only? I just ask as I've seen chassis crack through the side when outriggers don't meet the top and bottom plates.

Also, what will stop the mounts from flexing because there is no triangulation or sides on it?

Picky bugger ain't ya

Yea, the top you can see, meets the bottom, near to get a weld on

Dirty great gusset in the middle should stop flex
