Today then, got the chassis rotated and upside down:
Then cut the brackets off the old outriggers:
Unfortunately the new bolts and spreader plates havent come in yet so cant put them on.
Then i sat down and made some phone calls. Both John and I are having our chassis's blasted and galvanised so i needed to get us some quotes.
Blasting is about £80-100 and galving at a local place is 80p per KG which includes the acid dip first. So all in its cheaper than i thought. Im guessing my chassis is about 150kg but i need to look it up and check as i dont have a clue. 2 people can lift it though so even 150 sounds excessive, but we shall see. But im pleased! The Mrs asked if id booked it in yet lmao I think she secretly likes Land Rovers![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Then as i has a tyre getting low on the Disco, and a brand new matching spare i thought id get them changed over:
I was in good company. Almost my dream garage here too!
So disco is now back on matching wheels
More tomorrow!
