Side or rear mounted?

Side. The sketch is of a bought one but I’m going to have to make one as i need it wider and it needs to drop about 300mm.
I suppise I can just weld the angle iron on the chassis and then work out the bits later.
Good idea I like that, I did look at the tyre mounted steps but then id have to lug it about.
Where are you getting this from.

I'm making it. Thats why I asked what the angles might be for the side sticky type things.Good idea I like that, I did look at the tyre mounted steps but then id have to lug it about.

This is similar................ tinterweb is full of retractable steps

Im a fair bit away from doing the steps so I have added it to my list & im gathering bits n pieces before I make a start on mine.

This flap disk stuff is getting tedious.
I can’t wait till it’s primed and the welds seam sealed.
Almost there with the frame and on to the outriggers.
I think I’ll wire wheel it and prime it before welding the outriggers on. Stop the rust a bit so I don’t have to clean it all up again.

Another little side track holding progress up.
Due to my diesel generator making far too much noise (its bleedin embarrassing) and smoke and oil n crap, I have just purchased another in 4 stroke flavour. I'm setting about making a sound box for it and an exhaust extension so I can run it inside the lock up.
It should make things much more pleasant to work in there without the constant thumping outside. God only knows what the houses round there are going through and after a visit from Ur indoors yesterday (she explained she could hear it two streets away) its time to upgrade.

Managed to stretch the axle today. 8 inch in all so it fits on the recycled chassis. I wasn’t looking forward to this but it’s turned out better than expected.
I’m going to paint the chassis and axle tomorrow. I know I still have to weld the outriggers on it yet but I’d rather fit the axle once and get it on the floor just once rather than strip it all down again to paint.
The finish will no doubt suffer but as it won’t be seen once the coachwork starts, I’m counting on a technically correct application rather than pretty so touch ups will be required.
I’ll get some pics up tomorrow at some stage now I’ve limited litigation
