I just cut the sill out and welded in some 100 X 50 box section in its place.

i just made squash plates. they are 6mm flat bar, welded at bottom and used 12mm high tensile bolts to squash together.

Mines a zook and weighs 1 tonne so it doesn't follow the rules but mine are similar mounting to the ones above cept flush at the sil so they also use the sil for support somewhat

Considered welding but was concerned about the difficulty of removing them should something happen later on.

When I looked at mounts - could use existing brackets, mounts, holes etc... so it ended up a simple decision - but mines odd.
( usual disclaimers )

It seemed like a much better idea when I started it than it does now.

Weld Blocks onto chassis then Bolted to them , though most engineers have a few issues with this setup .....but the best for clearance and removability

What I did was made up bent 14mm plates and drilled holes in them so that the sliders bolted to them. This way I didn't end up with a void behind them that could rust, and there was room to get in there and hold the nuts. I used 16mm Grade 8 bolts to hold them on.
Have piccies somewhere but would have to find them.
Plates were around 120x120mm I think from memory. There is about a 30mm space between chassis and mounting surface.

Hope this makes sense.

Cheers

Mine are similar to above but I've used 10mm plate and crushtube for 2 10mm hightensil bolts on top of the chassis and the front leg is bolted
horizontally by 2 10mm hightensil bolts through the body mount plate! Wish I'd done them years ago! Just another idea for you and the only
thing lower is the 10mm plate it hasn't stopped or held me back yet :twisted:

Clamped mine, but on heeps we have the choice of clamping, bolting and for those keen to drill into the body, running sliders right along the side, bolted on with a stack of big bolts through the door sill.
Apparently people think I'm too patronising (that means I treat them like they’re stupid).
