could anyone tell me of a place where i can order the rear part of my chassis to be welded in i have checked a few web sites but aint having much luck

 

[G-man]

do you mean you are going to do the work yourself or you want someone to do it for you?

 

[GRUNT]

Go round to Redhands an nick his spare one.

 

[k341sjr]

has anyone done this to one of their landys ? if so what sort of costs were involved

 

[Trewey]

I assume you mean the rear cross-member, with chassis extensions.
My local indy charges 300 quid plus VAT to supply and fit - he does a top job too.

 

[k341sjr]

cheers . That is what i meant

 

[k341sjr]

found one on e-bay £75. is it a big job lining it back up and welding it in place

 

[Trewey]

yes and no really.
the bolts holding the tub on will be a bastid to get undone. the wiring loom goes through the chassis and that can be a pig too.
to do a proper job, you need to remove the tub (or at least jack it up high) to weld the top bit of the chassis rails.
not technically difficult, just ball-breaking and time consuming.

sounds like fun .may be a job put on hold till summer

cheers

You can do a better job of it if you take the rear tub off, the you can get a good weld all round the new piece then.

I use Chris at Trevecca LR. His place is at Merrymeet, between Liskeard and Callington.
He can be a funny bugger, but really knows his stuff and carrys a huge stock of bits (usually cheaper than Paddocks too).
Just get him talking about Steam Engines and you'll get along fine.

I know someone who cut the floor on the tub to weld the top of the chassis.

Then just riveted a slightly bigger piece back in.

A bit ott I guess, saying that in an 88 (so guess a 90 is same) the floor is only riveted in
