Okay, from the inside it is, easier welding too
Thanks Kim!
Today I reached the first big milestone:
IRS is ready
I'll show you the last bits, first how I made the ears for the radius rods and torquebars, that's easy:
Pics speak for themselfs, I suppose?
The torque bars are basicaly the same as the radius bars:
First made the bars again from old shocks, big nuts and a piece of thread:
Then I welded the new ears on the framerails and on the front tie bar:
The torque bars are mounted at 45 degrees out and tilted up, to prevent that the diff rolls up or down by the force of accelerating or braking. This should work according to plan
Now I have to clean and paint the frame, take the axle apart for some new parts, paint it also and it's ready for its new home.
I also did get a tow bar, but must wait for it until the break up that car....
Then on with the tow bar, in with the fueltank, and, and......
Next week I'm gonna try to get the propane tanks mounted and modify the cab corners. The tanks are gonna be mounted at the outside of the framerails, left and right.
Let's see how that goes
