Guest Steelies Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 hey all. can't buy U-bolts to suit the wee Carry van so time to make some. anyone know what sort of material is required for these thangs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Valiant Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Bellamy and East in Chch will make them any size you want. PM the size you need and I'll call them for you. Otherwise they are pretty high grade steel, I couldn't say beyond that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest k-trips Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 Just use original clamps with 2 of these nuts and long bolts? LOL /HG Ingham's can make the u-bolts I believe.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest retep130 Posted April 22, 2013 Share Posted April 22, 2013 snells springs can make them too, but I think its ~$70 for 4 u bolts im not sure on material but Snells told me that normally trailers have a different material used for Ubolts and that material is unacceptable for cars Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eke_zetec_RWD Posted April 23, 2013 Share Posted April 23, 2013 Use 4140. Bending them mint is an art. Just buy them if they only charge $70 for 4 of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
