Stellaghost Posted June 16, 2022 Author Share Posted June 16, 2022 That's it for today, might get welding done tomorrow Some 3mm plate sides cut and shaped equal New sides Welded inside and out Cutting top and bottom sections When you don't check where your workmate is in relation to your cut stitched into position Regards Stephen 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MECCANO Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Outstanding. Apologies if you have already mentioned it, are you doing any reinforcement work to the a-frame mountings or are they already made of oil rig? I'm guessing the mog axles put most of their leverage into the A frame? or do the chassis mounts also take a hammering hence the 10mm?

Only the mounting bolt area is 10mm, landrover standard is 2x3mm so I made mine bigger, the rest is 6mm and longer so it can be welded to more of the chassis regards Stephen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bowie69 Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 So basically you just rebuilt the entire chassis in three days -something most of us would agonise over for months on end? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed Poore Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 My wee bit of fabrication today. Went to go and fit the Southdown Guard and found an exhaust hanger rusted through so taking a leaf out of Stephen's book it's made from some 5mm plate because it saved me walking to my scrap pile 100 yards away.
