<< < (2/5) > >>

Ja1983:
mines been re-built with 3mm, get some waxoyl donw them (after welding! :shock: ) and they should out-last the rest of the motor!

Oh yes! 4mm wall thickness, 100 or 120 x 60 IIRC, eitherway well strong, not just welded, bolted from above first to pull up tight and secure, then welded, using the trim holes in the floor and 10mm allen bolts, box section drilled and tapped in-situ... a few images under my profile too.

peasey:
i agree with niel here im a huge fan of the belt and braces approach the thicker the better,all the major jobs i do are always over enginnered.i just wont tollerate the"yeah that will do for now"as now comes around a little to quickly for my liking.mind you with that said i havent done this job yet but niels way is the way i will do mine.

Guardian.:
FORGOT TO SAY EARLIER, DID YOU REALISE THERE ARE CABLES RUNNING DOWN INSIDE THE SILLS!
DONT CHOP THROUGHT THEM WILL YA!

stuntman:
