Box to frame U Bolts

[Robin Craig]

Jordan,

this may be of use to you once you have the sizes sorted.

My local heavy duty truck shop in Kingston makes U bolts to order, you spec it, they quote it and make them.

If you cant find what you need I am happy to help get them made for you.

I asked them to quote a job and was of the opinion that they were value priced to the point I could not make them for the money they wanted.

Good luck.

OK thanks Robin.

I seem to remember these were common size, but my memory is only being very selective on empty folders. Aka.... i can't remember

Agree, a spring/suspension shop is what you want. They can hammer out U bolts to whatever spec you give, and for prices similar or cheaper than the Cdn tire stuff.

Hi Jordan

I remember see something on varrious CMPs about blocking in the frame rail and body rail at the U-bolt to keep from deforming the frames. My HUP has oak block, remember also service bulletin about adding blocks or adding a steel plate to box the frame at the U-bolt locations.

Cheers Phil
