hi all
I have been starting to get the cranks with my rear tyres hitting the tray under compression and acting like a brake. For those of you who watched the vid of me in a rut at the base of telecom hill in the landcruiser mountain park thread you will understand what im going on about.
so.. I got myself 350mm of 40x40x5 RHS and cut it into 8 40mm blocks, 640mm of 40x5 flat bar and cut that into 16 40mm lengths which I drilled a 13mm hole on the centre.
I shamphered the edges of the rhs and flat bar to help with the weld penetration.
I capped the ends of the rhs with the flat bar to give me a 50mm block.
I then used a emery flappy dick to clean up the welds and surface to give me a nice finish.
they are drying at the moment an tomorrow I will hopefully install them.
With the raised tray I suspect that the garage door will now be too low.......... I hope it isnt my measurements tell me I have mm to spare.
