And the rebuild begins
So....ive been too busy..unmotivated etc etc with the bug....but the rain today stopped me from heading into bobbers n choppers show...so i thought i
best actually start....first thing get her off the ground and wheels off....
upload pictures
image upload
as u can see in above pic she had massive spacers...i have the longer axles and tubes and type 3 drums all form Empi (thanx mate) ive fitted one
side..but have not done this side yet...
It also have front spacers..im thinking i get a new beam..im sure ive read u can get wider than stock ones?
upload images
i have to take the beam off so i can take the extension off also..that needs to be sand blasted and x rayed..and if it looks shit once blasted or
doesnt pass ill need a new one made that will pass
upload photo
The rear spring plates are coming off too...as they are welded up..and that wont pass inspection or xray tests here...so ill get someone to make new
ones for me using these as a template...
picture hosting
so if you have any thoughts or advice along this rebuild please post em up....im great and doing some things..but really cannot weld for shit, and
dont have the means to fabricate...... who does widened beams? thinking ill drop engine and box out and get them looked over..who would be good to do
that, its a modded 1600...anyone know anyone that could remake spring plates that will pass xray tests.....and maybe even the beam extension.,....?

Ok. Not much done but I now have a mate on board. Matt is a certified welder and does a lot of fab work. So I'm ripping off spring plates and beam
extension and he will re make them. Then I'll get them x rayed.

We have mate. He is going to get an extension from Matt who is making mine. We worked out its 6.3 inches forward and 4.6 lifted. Or lowed. Lol. New
design looks way better. After that we start on plates, which I think are 4inch drops

Looking good Ran! Good to see someone putting some effort into their beam extension anyway. Seen a few dodgy ones around the interweb.

Have you talked to Overkill eng, on this forum.
He's made a bomproof one and if enough peeps want one he can get them engineered and certified.

Sounds good, im interested. I got one off The VolksRod Shop (8" 2.5Drop BJ2BJ) that I
was intending to try to get certified soon with kelvin Ney Engineering . With the
new "National" codes that should mean "engineered and certified" for all states?
