Michele Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well finally after many moons and a first try with a bolt-on plate (soon binned as it looked a tad a joke) I managed to install my Husky in the tub of the Cube hooray! I struck a sweet deal with Equipe 4x4 (another trade) and got their rear mount kit, so 2 x chassis brackets (they mirror the Td5 chassis brackets supporting the fuel tank) and spacers, 2 x upper brackets annnd a winch tray. Of course the winch tray is designed for the average Joe winch and didn't work with the Husky so I had to bin it and start again from scratch... So here's the pig in place and the Cube being hooked for an easier life...something I can't do in my small cave Tdi tub brackets have to go to make room for new ones Equipe brackets in place,they mirror the Td5 fuel brackets so sort of bridge from chassis rails to x-member tolerances were close to 0 so there was no way to sling the spacers in place and we had to grind some metal away,this left a few mm gap at the x-member which will be filled...next time! now ready for some coats of black,re-wiring of the pig and in-cab control alleluja alleluja Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
