[QUOTE="Cab-over Pete, post: 7323278, member: 416"] That would be nice. It seems everything is taking three times as long as I would like! Got everything stripped off the chassis now, so she’s bareback. There was a fair bit of wiring and air pipes to redirect from a catwalk and rack full of plugs and air unions so that was all a faff. Then I’ve had to move and shorten the exhaust too, which meant undoing lots of other bits and bobs, cutting the exhaust, welding it back together, making new stay bars etc etc. Just sat the body over the back this morning. I’ve now got to cut down and adapt the main rear mounting brackets which were on the Multistrife and have been adapted once for the Xerion. Now I’ve got to mount body somehow taking into account the huge amount of twist that occurs when the truck goes on to undulating ground. The Bredal body has no give at all so could very often only be touching the chassis in three out of the four corners. I need to fabricate fixings with a lot of extension in them. Got my brother coming to have a look tomorrow for a bit of a brainstorm! [/QUOTE]
