Re: C20
Starting to re square the frame, once the cross members are removed its not an easy task to bolt it back together making everything square again. This is why I went for a 6 x 6 inch box section to replace the gearbox cross member. This centre cross member is what everything else frame wise will be squared off...........
Bevelling the edges to fit inside the C section of the frame. ![]() The cross member now sits flush with the frame. ![]() Because the frame will be pulled down a few more times the cross member is only bolted in, it will be welded when finished. ![]() With the cross member fitted I used threaded rod in the frame alignment hole to pull the cross member in flush against the inner frame rail section. ![]() The rear of the frame and centre were level, the part of the frame where the cab cross member was not, problem? ![]() ![]() The frame rail on one side was out of square, soon as I fitted and tightened the treaded rod it levelled this part of the frame again. ![]() I'll fit the front cross member when everything is squared before I shape it . ![]() ![]() I will set the frame back at ride height. I'll then run a string line down the centre of the chassis table. I'll square and set the centre cross member once this is done I'll weld the side plates. Its then a matter of squaring the frame with the treaded rod and the string line...... Then the cab and radiator support panel will be trial fitted as well....... |
