Title: Chassis Swap
Post by: Stan 90 on April 19, 2007, 21:07:29

Hi all,

Just ordered a new chassis from Richards Chassis to replace the rotten one on my mums 200tdi 90.

What i would like to ask you guys is what else is likely to need to be replaced at the same time eg bulkhead, bushes, etc etc  :?

Thanks

Tris

Not done a full chassis swap, but I have recently put a new rear tub on my '53 110............a lot of the nuts and bolts were already well rusted, so you need to budget for plenty of WD40, a nice 4" grinder, and lots of new nuts & bolts. I've also used stainless bolts for the doors and the rear tub to crossmember mounts.

Some of the rot will be hiding away, so you'll not see it until you get the 90 stripped down - don't forget to label everything as it comes off, even if you intend replacing it !

Best of luck.

Hi Stitch & Tony;

How much u paid for the chasis ?
mine is also badly rusted, thought of only welding new member.
it's hard n costly to bring new chasis over here.
