Box to frame U Bolts

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Jordan

Yes, too the wooden blocks, particularly as there are service bulletins to install blocking to CMPs in service.

Without the blocking would be careful about over tighing the bolts, would be concern about the open side of the channel bending.

I tighten my bolts by hand, and used Locktight on the threads, generally check them in my bolt check of drive shafts, links and wheel lugs in the spring.

Cheers Phil

Ok thanks for the advice Charlie and Phil.

Does anyone have a copy of the service bulletin for the wooden blocks they can post up? I've gone through my bulletin book and didn't see it.

Jordan,

See my pics above.
The front ones have a wooden spacer block, this is a little wider than the channel it sits in.
The rear ones are next to the cross member, at that point the chassis rail is strong enough, so no wooden spacer needed.

HTH,
Hanno

Picked up a number of NOS wooden frame blocks yesterday. There is a number of different sizes to fit the different sections of the frame.
