    Mounting sliders to chassis - DIY

    Ok, as some of you know I am taking a set of scrub bar slider combo from another vehicle...Yes, another vehicle which we won't go into what kind of vehicle that is...lol

    Anyways, just thinking of the best way to mount this as I have realised the sliders are welded to the chassis of the other vehicle.

    I'm thinking of cutting them off and welding a wedge to the end of the tube and welding that onto a "U" bracket to wrap around the underside of the chassis and bolt on top of the chassis to clamp onto the chassis itself.

    This should minimise any overhang under the chassis to get caught on things.

    What does everyone think of the below example?

    Questions are:

    What thickness should the U shape be? 10mm????

    One or two bolts at the top to clamp shut the U bracket?
