Jig photos please

[AircooledKate]

Anyone got a photo of the front of an early bay on a rollover jig?

 

[Fortunate Son]

I have somewhere - on a Cj Autos one……does it have to be a certain type of jig?!

 

[AircooledKate]

Not really, just want to see how you’ve attached at the front if possible.

Thanks

Ahh……I didn’t as the CJ one bolts to the hubs!

Yeah, so I see. Thanks though. What sort of price are these? - if you can remember. I can look it up to be fair.

hi Kate,
If you can look up one of our members called Happy Stamps , real name Simon. At one time he had files on how to make one of these. Not sure of the format though.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, worth a peep

 

[AircooledKate]

Ooh thanks Ozziedog, I’ll look him up

 

[ozziedog]

Ooh thanks Ozziedog, I’ll look him up

He was on VZI a lot, has a beetle or two and a bay called the ratty bay that he’d rebuilt from next to nothing. I’m rubbish with searches and stuff.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,most searches tell me to piss off

 

[AircooledKate]

I found him but can’t find any files, I’ll have a look again later when I can look on the computer.

It used to be like a signature at the bottom of each of his posts.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,real nice fella too,,,,,bit bonkers but nice

 

[ozziedog]

Actually that was a lie of sorts. He’s totally batshit bonkers.

Ozziedog,,,,,,,,and more

I think I know this, didn’t I meet you at the Early Bay campout a few years ago

 

[ozziedog]

Possible I spose. The obvious question would be “Was I sober “ and was I playing ska or reggae.

Ozziedog ,,,,,,, if you answer yes to the first then it wasn’t me

 

[AircooledKate]

Definitely not sober if I remember correctly I think you had a bee staying with you

 

[ozziedog]

YES, YES YES AND YES

That was me, how the hell did you remember that. The bee came to camp with me but just for one night as he couldn’t afford the whole weekend.
I was gonna do a silly write up but one of my contemporaries did a write up about how he’s had a bee staying with him before I’d gotten home, possibly to dampen my fireworks.


Ozziedog,,,,,,,that was my little mate there ^^^

 

[AircooledKate]

I have no idea (also no idea how this has ended up in italics) My brain remembers weird random **** and forgets all the important stuff.

Ah, people love to dampen fireworks. Was a cute little

Does this help? Can't recall where jig came from but it used front bumper mount holes. No way I could have done work required without it!

That is really helpful, thanks. Do you still have the jig?

Yep. After the van it was used for Beetle while repairing both pan and then body. It's currently in use with Austin A30. Fixing points need so adjustment each time but makes access underneath way easier. Welds aren't much better but at least the hot splatters don't land on you so much.

Have checked and fairly sure mine came from here originally:
