CAD Drawings/Designs/Templates

[antoo]

I'm about 90% through modelling up a set of steps/sliders for the MN manual. Just got to sort out the front mount details. Once finished I'll make a set and confirm the design then post them up here to keep you all happy

Would keep me happy if you could do some for the auto as well

I'll second that!

Cheers snappyrow

[Lostu2]

Teaser...



I've got the material ready to go now just got to find the time...

I can do the auto version as well if someone in Melbourne (with an auto - are 4 & 5 speed cross members the same?) can assist with a vehicle to measure...

they look the goods

[mattz]

There look sweet.
Exactly what I'm looking for.

[Homer]

That's interesting.
My AVA sliders had the front mount facing forward and you drilled a hole in the chasis and bolted it through that way. I couldn't see a good place where a third U mount would have worked - although I didn't look too hard...

[Kegsy]

Yeah it gets tight around the fuel lines on the passenger side.

Drivers side is fine.

Probably look into doing what homer said on the passenger side and mount to that jacking point.

I can help after Easter with a MN 5 speed auto if you still need it.

PM me next week and we can meet up somewhere.

any news?? hows the slider going fellas? . im about to get a mate to help me make up a set very similar to that drawing. have you had any progress with this yet ?

[snappyrow]

Coming along... Design is the easy part for me as I just do it in my lunch break. The fab I do after hrs when I've got the time. Planning to put in a few hrs tomorrow and Friday so with a bit of luck I'll be able to confirm the drawings by early next week

I've stuck with the U shape bracket for all mounting points as there seams to be plenty of room at the front on my car Interestingly, the rear bracket on the passenger side has less space and only just fits between the chassis and brake lines... Anyone with sliders able to check theirs for clearance (photo would be great!) Or is 6mm between chassis & brake lines normal?

[Cowboy Dave]

Mine were a problem with the lines. I ended up spacing them out off the rail a bit.

How'd you do that CD? Did you space out the white plastic clip that holds the brake lines?

[krazed]

Excellent. Im not quite in the right trade .. (Wood machinist/cabinetmaker) so i was going to make a full template up on the cnc out of mdf to get it right then get our steel guys to cut all my pieces so i could weld it all up . I'll still have a go at getting some time in over the next few days but if your drawings are sweet that would save alot of hassell.

P.s did you find an mn auto to have a look at ??

[krazed]

Got the passengers side templated up on anzac day . Hopefully will get time to have a crack at the driver side on saturday . after that i will have to draw a tidied up version of each individual part in cad then i'll get a set made . Hopefully it works . if it does i'll post up all the info after i install it and make sure it works

[mattz]

Good stuff Krazed.
A lot of members will appreciate all the work your going to with these drawings.......me included......hopefully.

[killa]

Yep, can't wait to see the end result.
Might have to have a crack at modifying it to suit the Challenger , wonder what the brother in law is doing in a few weeks time lol

Hey mate, happy to help get the pdf up. How big is the file? Needs to be under 256mb to upload directly to the site or I (or you if you have one) can host it in my dropbox and post the link for download.

If you want to email it to me (fridgie@newtriton.net) I'll get it on here for you.

[antoo]

Awesome work!

Auto ... anyone??

[Brent1]

Awesome work!

Auto ... anyone??

Wow they are great! Club Cab anyone??

[Cowboy Dave]

Very impressive stuff.

[Mattyjl]

The sliders look great, good job mate!
You wouldn't happen to know if they would fit an ML as well?

[Snooozy]

do you have a pic of the left side,

I am wondering how they might fit with a long range tank

getting to the bolts might be a problem
