specialbikejames Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 As the title suggests I'm looking for a set of jackable sills for a 130 I've just bought. Anyone know of a supplier who makes them? If not, the only thing I can really think of doing is getting some 110 sills and lengthening them. They should attach in a similar way to the 110 sills I had from Mill services, it's just getting them in the right length that's an issue.

JST Posted July 28, 2009 Share Posted July 28, 2009 have you tried Southdown they normally make to order, not sure where you are based though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

muddy Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 Millservices will make them to order. The owner is a very nice chap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyw Posted July 30, 2009 Share Posted July 30, 2009 You could always make your own..... 100x50x3mm box section is plenty good enough, then weld on suitable mounting brackets. (If you have a welder that is) If you measure your own vehicle and cut the length to suit you'll probably end up with a better fit than the off-the-shelf offerings.

specialbikejames Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 I thought Mill Services had stopped trading? I bought a set of 110 tree sliders off them a few years ago and they were well made- the bracketry was abit carp though. Safari Equipe want £235+VAT a set, which is just about ok but definately not cheap. I'll get on to the other suppliers tommorow as I've got a day off. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can vouch for the quality of their gear. On another forum I saw photos of rusting swinging wheel carriers which were less then a year old. The Safari equip one on the back of the 110 is still in good nick after about 5 years. Remember old adage. Buy cheap, pay twice over!

bishbosh Posted August 1, 2009 Share Posted August 1, 2009 Another vote for making them yourself. If you want some 100 x 50 x 3 box I have a approx 4m of it left over having made some for my 90. I can also cut it to whatever length you want on a band saw. £235 is a lot of money for what is a very simple piece of kit to make yourself. Of course, your labour is free unlike Safari Equipe's Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

specialbikejames Posted August 3, 2009 Author Share Posted August 3, 2009 Wozza, feel free to jump on the Box section. I've not got the time/inclination to make my own at the moment. Anyway, I spent the weekend walking around Bristol city centre picking up pennies so I can afford the Safari Equipe ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
