2 reasons 1st with it being axils need to keep mating surfaces true as are a machined face 2nd in high load situations galve is soft and can cause a connection to come lose if its under constant vibration , learnt this with trailers if wheel rims are galve studs need checking every time you...

Moved on a bit got axils back in place. Tank back in and a new tow bar on Was struggling with land rover tow bar to keep bolts tight and finished welding stays to tow bar at rear cross member end as just would not stay tight ,why they need slotted holes is beyond me , also had bolts into the...

table is awesome, once you get used to working on these there is no going back to a plate for a bench , that said they are a little expensive for the weekend worker at home , think i have over £40k invested in them :eek: but they are in use every day ;)

Not much progress this week as waiting for chassis to get stripped so I can do repairs Decided to gave the axils so cut some rings out to mask of areas where I don't want damage from blasting or the galve to get Found best way is to make plates up and use fire clay as a sealer between plate and...
