I know some on here sell solid rear mounts and I'm sorry for doing this but.. I want to make my own.I'm going to start stripping out the rear axle this week and was wondering what ye actually do with the mounts? Do ye just replace the rubber with something more solid or weld them up or what would my best option be! I work as a fitter so I hyave access to all the tools and welders I'll ever need. So help me please! |

Beam mounts 101 for beginners  How about I sell you a set, you can have a good look at them, take down all the measurements you need, then make your own  Before you do though, you need to read this book first.  ________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

i guarantee you will weld back together misaligned, even if only slightly  i have seen them made first hand and its a long old process and daveyboy has some specific developed equiptment to make them that you dont have. save yourself the ballache and time and buy a set of daveyboy  you wont regret it.. |

Not if he copies my jig, but to be fair it's a lot of work to go to to make one set.________________________________________ R H Davey Welding Supplies.

I made my own set years ago, and tbh i did mine without a jig etc. For the sake of the £100 it will cost you to get Daveyboys, Id just get his. They are a much better finish and Ive only heard good things. Mine arent the prettiest but do the job, its just I did them before Daveyboy started to make them. If I was considering them now, Id take the easier route. ________________________________________ My 306 Rallye Project ThreadFew recent Youtube track videos, more on my channel Pair of Rallye's doing a few laps of Anglesey Lap of Anglesey Coastal 3 sisters circuit Few laps at Blyton |
