also anyone that has lights to donate, spindles wiht rotor and wheel bearings and rims or atlaest a common rim patteren ie 5 on 5.5 or 5on 4.5 please post so we can figure out how to get it all here.... thanks
-
I can donate spindles rotors and wheels. The wheels are pretty rough and will need tires though. Do you need them before the next meeting? I'm booked this weekend but can leave the parts out on the table in my driveway for anyone who wants to stop by and pick them up.
-
wouldnt mind having them this weekend if we can do the deja relay. what size are the tires and do the rotors have the wheel bearing and the hardware to mount them to the spindles. what are they off of so we can write it some where so the wheel bearings can be purchased in the future
-
oh and the steel is here
-
Sunday I'm booked, we have company from out of state. Saturday we'll be cleaning and preparing for company from out of state, but maybe I can sneek down for a bit on Saturday. If you can use the stuff from Slimer I can pick it up and bring it down.

that would be great paul......
-
They are from an early Jeep. The wheels and tires are from the Scout but should have same bolt pattern. The tires are 29" but are trashed. They don't hold air. I believe the bearings are in the rotors. I'll check.
-
if they are scout axles they should be 5 on 5.5 right if so I have rims and tires for it. we wont need yours if you just want them gone and paul doesnt mind brining them I will take them off your hands
-
well after joe left I decided to take and make sure the steel we have is going to be enough to do a 30 deg ramp. the ramp is going to be 71 ins tall and just over 10 ft long not including hte tonge. here is apic showing how big it is going to be. my hand represents the max height of hte ramp...... it will defeinly give us all something to work at
by the way the max score on this ramp will be around 1500 on a 30 deg ramp
-
oh and a big thanks goes out to simon and the folks at miller metal for the great discount and delivery of the steel you guys really went out of you way to help make this happen
-
Glad to help out...I am a little concerned about the reciever material (2-1/2" sq.tube) being a sloppy fit on the 2" sq. tube. Might be able to shim it with strips of metal, or look for something that fits better.
And, you may need some expanded metal. I will be on a trip tomorrow, and will be back in the afternoon.
Simon -
YES, [size=24px]THANKS SIMON[/size] for the discount and all the help! This will be a great toy........er, modification benefit measuring instrument for the club to have.
Looks smaller than I thought though....guess I'll have to leave my disconnects on so I don't max it out right away.
-
I got the hubs and spindle (have to get one of the spindles at work tomorrow). The outer bearings are missing so you will need a set of bearings. Might as well just buy inner and outers. The spindles are from a drum braked Jeep so they will probably be the same inner and outer bearings.
Paul, can I drop them off at your house tomorrow afternoon on the way home from work? I'll try to remember. If not they will be in a box on my table in the driveway.
-
I found the outer bearing set so everything should be there. Everything has been sitting around in my garage for a number of years so it will all have to be cleaned out real well.
If Paul can't make it down this weekend then I will clean them up next week.

PM me directions to your house and I'll drop the lights off...I need an excuse to come down and visit my parents anyway and there's a *cough*honda*cough* that I've been meaning to stop and look at in Dover (hey, it's a money-maker...put a new motor in it and re-sell
) It'll likely be Sat AM if that's alright.--Ian
