you got me inspired to make one now. where did you get the hub from and where you putting the number plate

Post by **Baker_24** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 8:24 pm

i ended up putting the number plate next to the wheel on the swinging section. the hub is just a stub axle and a sleeve... i was looking around the other day and someone posted a website where you can get them in a kit and its cheap as... but i couldnt wait wanted to finish it so just took it to work and machined one up

did you just use a ford stub axle

Post by **Baker_24** » Mon May 04, 2009 9:13 pm

um i think its a ford?? i wasnt to worried at what it was because i got that blank sleeve made to suit..

went and did some 4x4 down beachport to robe and the carrier went awesome the only thing im going to change is the latch as its made as a "sloppy" fit and rattles abit other then that was sick...

looks sick dig just wondering with your cleats coming out did u cut your tube for them to suit.? you should also get a gas strut i found once i put mine on that it would stop the arm from swinging around and smashing stuff.. Also seen that website u said about with the latch blooming heck u went all out on that baby lol.. looks good cant wait to see it with some paint.
