rock sliders ideas

[dazerede]

I.need to fit Rock sliders to my zook I.like the idea of scottie jwhat size metal is that 4x2 looks to big Is it 3x2 or something scottie as I want to copy your idea unless other people have better ideas

I am planning on bolting my cage to it once I make a cage

[dazerede]

Anyone

[Jordi]

Not sure what size steel Scottie used something 50x80 with a 3/4mm thick wall would be ok. The important part is to reinforce or sleeve chassis where you weld them on.

[dazerede]

Ye I will get some steel and strenghten the chassis and then weld it to the steel on.the chassis

I will copy scotties idea savor looks good

Scottie where has your sills gone dude

[turbo-tom]

if you go through his build thread he has cut them out and "tucked" them up.

Ok chears tom I.had a quick flick threw again lol love going throught his build thread

I will pop up metal place tmoz and go from there I will proberly make the rock sliders and then ask my mate to weld the strenghen plate on.the chassis as I want it done properly and he is a good welder what size is best for it

[Jordi]

I'm not sure of the dimensions but I would sleeve the outside of the chassis with some 3mm thick "U" channel.

Needs welding carefully, if you can wear a face mask / dust mask type with an air filter as the fumes that come off welding to a galvanised chassis are toxic.

Ok Ye just read scotties build he used 5mm thick spreader plate for his front shock torents so I will use 5 or 3mm
Jordi chears also what you mean u shape

Do I need to cut the spreader plate as a shape of a U so it is welded to the chassis in the middle aswell if you understand

[turbo-tom]

"U" section metal.

[Jordi]

Same as in Tom's picture. Instead of just welding a plate to the side of the chassis it will wrap around it, nice and strong
