Outer Limits 4x4 Board

hey,

any chance someone could get a photo of their sierra for me.
i need a shot looking from behind the transfer case towards the front of the car. i need to make up some sort of a t/case crossmember and the original mounts are bent to shit as well as the car being 100km away. so i just want to be able to build it all on the bench, then take it to the car and weld it in.
it would be really nice if you could take the photo with a straight edge sitting across the bottom of the chasis rails so i can see where it is meant to sit.

a measurement between the faces of the chassis rails would be nice too.

this is for the ex-overkill buggy.

thanks.

i dont have the t-case sitting in there atm...


cmon people.....

help this man out...

Sorry Dan + Wendle, im in the same boat as MUD4B, but i could take photos of the area without a t-case if thats any help. If i can i will shoot down the road tonight and photo a mates, will let ya know. Good luck, you gotta get to WE-ROCK. Help out zookers.
Layto....

mines a 1.0 litre LWB chassis with t- case position modified to sit higher and back a bit from standard, using sierra rubber engine mounts and standard 1.0 litre t-case arms.
If that helps I can take pix.

christover

measurements coming

chassis internal measurements....mines a little bent and twisted with age

christover

if that's not what ya want, PM me and i'll go take pix of mine... 1.3 wide track swb

Good man Christover. I woulda done it for ya Wendle but I don't have a digital camera.

thanks guys. hopefully i can get something done for him this weekend. see how i go for time. are the wide and narrow track chassis' the same internal width? i am not sure which this started off as.

one thing i forgot. can i get a height off the ground to the input flange centre, output flange centres and bottom of the chassis rails. that way i can mock it up exactly as it should be.

was 'bout to go out and measure it, but it just started raining

height off ground is gonna vary heaps isn't it, with tyre size and suspension setup?

yeah, but wjat i am interested in is the difference in height between the 3 points. the ground is just a co-ordinate for reference.

I'm not at home, so can't measure up, yet..but the most important thing is the angle of the flanges should match the angle of the diff flanges, ie both in same plane. Otherwise vibrations may result. Tho in a comp car, don't think it would matter much. With mods this often changes a tad.
This will keep tailshafts and unis happy.
Most drive lines are round 4* off vertical, from motor right thru to diffs,
I think.

I hope that makes sense.

christover

hopefully u can use the measurments

the flange you see is the front
couldnt get the rear as i have a tcase handbreak

next is chassis height

then drain plug on tcase

also dans is a narrow track

are the wide and narrow track chassis' the same internal width? i am not sure which this started off as.

NT and WT are the same width, sans Spring mounts( WT are outboard more)

Thanks guys

More measurements are required. The mount will be made away from where the buggy currently is, so we need accurate specs

thanks

what else do ya need?

Not different measurements, but more of the same would be helpful That way we can be more accurate with the fab work.

So basically, measurements from ground to:

a. input flange centre
b. output flange centre
c. chassis rail bottom (level with input flange)
d. chassis rail bottom (level with output flange)

Also, a measurement between the faces of the chassis rails would be nice too (both at input and output shaft)

Pics would be good too, if you can

Cheers

Dan

thanks guys.

i just measured up a suzuki down the road. too easy..
