sgnas Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Need to replace th BH outriggers ,esp. as I've now cut part of one off. What do you do about the bracket that links the outrigger to the radius arm bracket? Do you cut it flush with the outrigger and then extend it to the new outrigger? I've cut the outrigger round it but now it is two layers of metal thick and that might interfere fitting it to the new one. Oddly only the top, front and back in the 1st 3 inches have any corrosion! There it is straight through but 4" from the bolt it's full thickness with only light surface corrosion Due to the access, I'm planning on cutting a good straight edge on the existing outrigger, cutting the new to suit. Then either overlapping (if possible) with some extra rose welds or butt with a couple of extra plates added front and rear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 Bulkhead outriggers are so awkward to do - due to the fact they over the top of the chassis, that I sometimes cut out the rot and then cut the appropriate part out of a new one and weld it on.
