@Roman my kit for the front beam has a bunch of extra bolts in it so it can be raised 40mm to add more slamm

i would need to remove the vivid mark of steel out



add more steel



and weld it all up. you can see the height difference in this image from the bolt holes to the top of the modified one and the one not modified on the other side



this is from the company who supplied the kit

Ahh I see, makes sense. Thanks

No stress at all. My post certainly wasn't as informative as my previous posts in the thread.

 

Have been going through and uploading photos via flicker as all my old photos have managed to fall off the internet.

this is my favourite build thread to follow, absolutely love what you have done with this!

[64valiant]

Also you may be wondering.

 

Yeah I did do it up tight. Used this multipler tool to tighten it to tight.

Shes been a while now since the engine has been out, hopefully it's like muscle memory when she goes back in the hole.

Problem is I had all the tools out on the bench ready to go last couple of times. Since then we have moved and I've had to put them all way.

 

Can't be to hard. Lest I know none of them had locktight on them haha

Just caught up on the last two years of your build thread. That hammock bunk thing over the driver's position is pure genius.

You seem to be getting good at dropping the engine/box out. Practice makes perfect?

Sweet ride though.
