Default Steering box mod

Do you think that steering box mount would pass a roadworthiness inspection?

No, you're quite right Keith, the steering box mount is old and split, it definitely needs a new piece of wood in there!

When you look at these mods you have to marvel how some people's minds work. I've done a couple of 400 steering box conversions myself, but it never occurred to me to try doing it without changing the spring hanger/steering box bracket! Mind you I have to admire the Flintstones bumper, which would be a helluva lot stronger than the original one.

Default Another example for the records.

Some time back on another thread I mentioned that we were to receive a number of CMP spares which duly arrived around last Christmas and this morning the original chassis and drive train was retrieved which turned out to be that of a C60S tipper so I thought they would be a worthy addition to this thread.

Default rims

Back to the duels, have seen that mod on several low loader trailers. mostly house moving gear. cut the centre out of cmp rim use half into what ever old rim you had laying around.
