im on with a job for a friend on saturday (helping but probably end up welding)... he needs a plate welding on the chassis at the front drivers side.. its the hole were the rear of the wishbone goes in. has any body got any pictures of this before and after and what size hole it should be.

the hole is now oval..
 
I'd just made it a tad bigger than the compression rod's diameter. it doesn't move very much:)
I binned mine as the cost of new bushes and fixing the old rusty holes was the same as a custom rose joint set up :sly
 
i do like that but i wont be altering anything on his bus as its not for me to mod but i would on my own bus. the egg shaped hole looks like it was a 30mm hole once upon a time
 
Larsen don't know if it's of any use but you are welcome to take a look at my Terrano if you need to see what it looks like. Would try and take photos but can't get down that far at the moment as the necks too bad.
 
thanks jim but i dare not look at yours as this is newer with less miles and you know what that will meen dont you?


i have to weld 2 motors up, thats what:lol
 
I did it to get less restricted flex and easier castor correction :thumb2
Might be a little harsh on a road going car as there's no bushes at all. I did notice a slightly more positive feel to things though :rolleyes:

cheers jim but i made the plates to go over the original part of the chassis. 2mm stainless front and back. im hoping it lasts and its a 1 time job:lol

its a nice offer of help jim but you cant pull the wool over my eyes, i know your game as i read the 500 quid welding thread and your just keeping me sweet:D
