rawsondsr Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Quite fancy a small project of some rock sliders for my One Ten. Where do these normally mount? bulkhead and rear tubular err tube? Can you get steel online at a good price and delivered also at a good price? Any plans floating about for one? Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
western Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 no tubular outrigger on a 110 only on 90's, they bolt to the bulkhead ourigger & the outrigger in front of the rear axle or bodyside frame. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've used Parker Steel before, they're based in Canterbury and they hold stock of all standard sections. You have to buy a full length (usually 7.5m), but they will cut it to length for you and their delivery charge is quite reasonable. You have to register to be able to see prices, but once registered you can order online, including specifying cuts, finishes, etc... I've done a couple of screen-caps from their website, first one shows RHS available, second one shows prices for the size/thickness suitable for rock sliders - . You're not far from me aren't you? (I'm in Horton Kirby) Have you tried the Corus Steel Distribution Centre at Farningham Road Railway Station? I don't know if they'll deal directly with the public, but they're local - it's worth asking. . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulMc Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Another thing - is your 110 a Station Wagon or a Hardtop/Truck Cab? The reason I ask is because most Rock Sliders are made for Station Wagons and they mount in three places - Bulkhead - Outrigger - Body Crossmember Hardtops/Truck Cabs dont have the rear-most crossmember, so you have to make up a crossmember to mount across the chassis to provide a rear mounting. I've got a set of Mantec Sliders for my Hardtop, but I've got Jerrycan Lockers in the side, which means modifying the sliders by notching them or spacing them down to miss the bottoms of the Jerrycan Doors. The Jerrycan Lockers sit on a crossmember that mounts in the same place as the Station Wagon crossmember, but it's different, so the Mantec Sliders won't fit directly to it - more modifying I haven't got around to fitting them yet and, with the amount of modification required, I'm considering making my own from scratch. .

LandyManLuke Posted August 10, 2010 Share Posted August 10, 2010 Parker steel are a rip off for DIY buyers. I use their website as a start, it's great for looking up sizes etc, but the local family steel stockholder regularly beat them by 20-30%.

There's not a huge choice in the South East There are a few Steel places around that I know of, but they only do Building Steel - RSJs, I Beams, Columns, etc... .
