80 series sliders
need help on how to mount some sliders to my 80 series chassis
hey I'm making a set for my mate at the moment.
I'm going to have five mounts for extra strength which is probably overkill but i like stuff strong. the middle three were easy. just did what Ledgend80 said, the rear one of the middle three you will have to weld the nut onto the inside of the mount as the bolt can not be placed through because of the fuel tank and i couldn't get my hand up there to put the nut in place. this is due to the fuel tank. the front one I'm going to make the mount go between the front arm and the transfer case mount. this will just involve a bit of cutting the bottom of the section of the u bolt mount. the rear i cant see how i can run a bolt up top so i will just make the mount wrap around the bottom but not bolt it. This should be good enough to take the impact. i have also used gussets from the top of the mount down to the slider out as far as i can for strength.

this is how i did mine, i thinks its pretty much the same as the first suggestion just that i have a photo of it.
theres is more photos in my build up thred but thats the jist of the mounts.

definantly do a bolt on system, if the car is road regersted (i assume that it is) and is has any value, then welded on side steps can make it fail inspection with the only way to then pass rego is to change your chassy. $$$ not to mention that this can create weak points in your chassy opening yourself up to possibly cracking it. done the same research for my truck,, the u shape with top bolts or just plate on other side with bolts accross is def the way to go..
