    Kept out of this up until now as I initially did not know why this modification was being done. The machining is a very simple procedure using a slot drill or end mill in a vertical milling machine with the work piece held on a rotary table in dividing head mode. If you do not need slots for ongoing adjustment, just for a one off movement, why not weld up the original hole and mill a new hole (slot drill) in the required position for changing the angle?

    Brian you need to slot them so you can get the correct castor done by your freindly aligment provider.

    As for coming loose well, I am running the old 6 bolt swivels, scotch keyed and thread lock & spring w/s. No problems what so ever. As far as torque goes, I think the Isuzu with 4:1 diffs, rock crawler gears and 35" Creepies at 8psi is a good bench mark.

    Jumping on the skids at 100km/h will put more load on it than most other cases anyway.

    Good on you for posting in the first place, as someone said before the ones that are knocking it hav'nt done it and probably never will.


    Regards justin

    They should do depending on your wheel size. Some castor aligners cant get around 35" or bigger when they go from lock to lock.

    Is that a trick of the camera or are there big ugly garks on your swivel balls?
