Here we go again,
the start of the engine mount and axle support frame.

mounted engine from the side and the rear cover fitted. |

C5 from behind.

The frame has now been removed
for welding as when I make these things I always tack the
joints first.

Welded and given a slight grind
down with a flap disc.

What a blessing these wheels are
and very reasonably priced to. With a Jet on the back
the existing wheels weren't going to deal with the loads
put on them. These wheels and brakes were purchased of
ebay from a very helpful chap called Adam Ryan. To check
his store out - Click

This picture shows
how the wheels will be mounted, with the brake discs
on the inside. All I have to do now is replace the bearings
to accept a 16mm shaft and add the brake calipers.
|
|
A sneaky view up the rear end, plenty
of space to get the calipers fitted. The bearings arrived
today, in the end I had to go for 37 X 9 X 20, a little
narrow really, but I'm sure they will be fine. |

Its who you know you know. Thanks
to my neighbor Jube
Wickstead for getting his mate Peter
Hunt to make the axle for me, as I don't have a lathe
yet it would have been hard for me to make.

A view of the fitted oil cooler,
fuel filter and the 24 volt starter solenoid to the left
of center. The oil feed and return fittings have now
also been custom made and fitted using 90 degree compact
fittings. |

Here you can see the fuel inlet to the LP fuel pump.
