Tilt front on a 40

Post by tuff 45 »

Does anyone have any pics on tilt fronts for a 40 series and if anyone sells them. Thinking of welding my bonnet and guards up and turning it into a tilt front or instead of a tilt front welding everything togeather so the whole front lifts up towards the windscreen and not just the bonnet.

Thanks.

when i had my 40 series it had a front tilt it was cool the bonnet and guards and the headlight support panel were all welded together only prob was i had to mount everything so nothing was on the guards very hard to do i got the tilt front off a guy who had a V8 so would of been easier for him

Thanks guys, i think i will weld it all up and lift it towards the winscreen like in the pic Matt 88 put up but first i am going to modify it like the pic of the red cruiser Bubs put up. If i go the other way and make it tilt forward the winch etc will get in the way. I have a small block chev in it with a spring over and it is a pain to work on in the engine bay. Thanks again guys.


Tony.
