Post by: rustprooflandyracer on March 02, 2007, 17:35:37: I had to modify mine to fit, the front is straight forward enough by using the bulkhead bolts, rear I had to create my own brackets, to bolt to the tank out rigger and same on the near side.

Post by: Mike1975 on March 06, 2007, 11:35:29: ok finally found them on their website. Looks like I need 2 very long bulkhead/outrigger bolts before I start anything!

Post by: rustprooflandyracer on March 06, 2007, 20:36:04: I used the same bolts, they are long enough, might have a problems with the bulkhead dropping down slightly so use a highlift ot keep it all lined up ready for bolting back together!

or get a spare tube/ bolt of the same diameter and drift one out with the other so there is always something holding the bulkhead up. thats how we fitted the mill services sliders to our 110

Post by: MattMatt on April 03, 2007, 13:44:41: Looked at this last night. Rather than use the instructions on the website (which I found really strange) how about getting some 2" angle iron, weld/tack/bolt it to the rear tang on the Rocksliders so it links up to the underside of the rear tank support on the chassis. Then you can bolt it to the same holes the tank uses (weld it there if you want). Bolting it on means it's easily removed. I'm going to get some angle iron today so I'll try and get some pics done.

Post by: Mike1975 on April 03, 2007, 14:57:44: It's the website instructions I'm having problems with as well. I thought if I could actually see a picture I'd be able to work something out.

Post by: MattMatt on April 03, 2007, 18:50:23: Ok this is what IÃ¢â‚¬â„¢ve mocked up. It needs welding and painting yet so no comments about the look.

1 x 400mm length of angle iron bolted to the underside of the outrigger. That will be welded (bolted at mo) with bracing for strength to the rear tang on the Rockslider.

I had to grind down the tube at the front so it would all line up.

What do you think?
