Engineering for body blocks

Hi all,

With regards to engineering certs for body blocks, does anyone know if they HAVE to be one piece? What I'm doing at the moment is cutting 1in body blocks from a 1in thich chunk of alloy.

See pic.

Is there any problem with putting a bolt through two of these together if I decide to go to 2in later on?

Cheers
Lewie

I cant see why not, LRA ( rangie spares) uses 13mm peices in their kits, so you can put 1 or 4 in depending on requirements.

although a few people wouldnt see it as a problem but
you would have to consider the amount of forces you are going to put on it just going out 4bying so its only going to slip and slide ontop of each other aint it? their for putting lots of strain on the body bolts? and could snap launching the body off the chasie????

just somthing to look at id say

but if i was going to do it id do it in one part ,but still better with none :)

the decision would be up to NSW transport. I would assume they wopuld want 1 solid piece.

You can always sell the 1" kit down the track there's always buyers for body lift kits.
