Nuwe towbar

Post by Dowe Koos »

Dagsê mense.
Het net skielik besluit ek wil 'n ander towbar hê. Wat meer funksioneel gaan wees. Daar is dit.

Sal volgende week daarmee begin, so oor twee weke behoort dit klaar te wees. Dis weer eksamentyd.
Jy sien dat daar twee tubes ingebou in die bumper.
Kleiner tubes met enkele staal ghoen in die middel wat as n bearing speel gaan dan binne in die tubes wat aan die bumper is.

If you want to reinforce the chassis rails at the back, 76x38mm U channel fits inside the rails like it was designed that way.
Happy trails

Kan ek oom bietjie laat wakker le vir 'n aand of 2?

Sny dalk deur die bakwerk dat die bumper se brackets reguit vanuit die chassis agter toe loop, sodoende tel die bumper op en kanse is baie minder dat die bumoer 'n ploeg word...?

Ja Thabo, die bumper is omtrent 80mm hoër en ook omtrent 70mm nader aan die bakwerk. Sal maar sien as ek 4x4 ry.
