Re: GRIZZ’s English 2001 S10 Extra Cab 4.3 V6 Truck

Two small reports……

Nick said:

Could I suggest 8.5mm holes in each end of the brackets, and matching 12mm in the rails? I'll provide some weld in threaded bungs, as I'm not convinced about rivnuts for this job, and we need at least two good earth points.


4 M8 threaded bungs to weld into 12mm holes in the chassis rail. We will need to drill clearance holes in the body for it to float over the bosses. These will also make for good battery and starter grounds.

I'll make some more, but tapped M6 for the light grounds at each corner. But I'm due at a ringing practice so that's a job for tomorrow.





So battery strap V2.0

Bypassed the sleeve, though I still like it.

So as @kevins said…….

Webbing.



Add some brass eyelets

And a hot punch.



Holey Moley.



Brass eyelets added.



And then a lightweight mock up.



Now we just need to wait for the vegans to object to the tightened nuts.

Just teeeeaaazzzinnng.

May still go back to the sparkly option ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️

Thursday…..

Weekend soon.

Garage time.
