4" adjustable beam now installed

[Mark6455]

As Above
My good mate mark89rallye on here took on the challenge and used his mechanical skills and got it in in no time

So first he notched the rear as my drive shafts were rubbing an the chassis due to down one spline and horseshoe plates

Then the beam arrived so out with the old rusty death trap

And in with the new(to me) 4" narrowed adjustable beam

Back on terra firma

Test drive went ok need to fiddle with my shifter as only 1,2 and reverse at the mo
The adjusters are right at the top so plenty more room for coming down some more

Even if it won't drive I'll just look at it and smile cos since mark lowered it off the jack we both started to grin like Cheshire cats and still am

Low and slow it's addictive

Plans are to get it lower and convert the hubs/brakes to Porsche so I can get my rims on. I've got a load of goodies to put on that I've been collecting just haven't got the time.

[Mark6455]

:lol: You know you were moaning Mark about me doing your axle on my own, I found this on my pc and thought of you...

Now anyone that tells you a camper axle is heavy, bare this in mind... it doesnt take a 16ton fork truck to remove it.

I did this one on my own, yes probably breaking all the rules.

And sadly since they have reduction gears made of a substance softer than butter, its not uncommon to have to remove them.

Would be quite expensive to narrow one of those :lol:

 

[Mark6455]

Effing hell mate I feel better now .Health and safety nonsense gets beaten again

You getting excited yet not long now
