Les Henson Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I have to replace both bulkhead outriggers on a 110 soon, and was wondering if there is a preferred supplier. Some chassis parts are shocking quality from some places. Anyone have somewhere that supplies decent stuff? Thanks. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonk Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 i've never had a problem with cheapo paddocks or craddocks ones Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon White Posted July 13, 2007 Share Posted July 13, 2007 I've had a cr@p rear crossmember from Craddocks and even worse customer service from them when i complained about it! Last outriggers etc i had came from Keith Gott's and had no problems with quality etc and the price was comparable to craddocks. Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Les Henson Posted July 13, 2007 Author Share Posted July 13, 2007 Are you flogging them Dafydd or just offering pics of them. The problem I've found with some outriggers is that the makers have a problem with a 90deg corner, which is a major pain when you realise too late that the hole is not in line when you come to put the bolt in. I'd rather hedge my bets by seeing what others use if you see what I mean? Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used Craddocks they were terrible, they exchanged them for some more they were just as badly made. But have fitted recently a set off allmakes (SIP i think is the make), they were perfect.

Guest diesel_jim Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Les, if you need to take any measurements for the location of the outriggers, pop over my place, there is a nearly new 110 HD chassis sat on my drive, bare, so you can get the tape measure to every little point that takes your fancy.

muddy Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 Sorry to hijack this post and i could be asking a really stupid question but has anybody been able to change a buklhead outrigger and not have the bulkhead drop/move? is there a knack to it?

Guest WALFY Posted July 14, 2007 Share Posted July 14, 2007 If you give Weeble a shout on here he has just done this job on a 90. So should be able to offer advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted July 14, 2007 Author Share Posted July 14, 2007 Place a support under the A-pillar so that it doesn't move when you remove the bolt. When fitting the new outrigger - put the bolt in first and then weld the outrigger in place. Les. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
