Undressing Kate, my Chim 430 resto.

[jojackson4]

Don't know
I have seen a lot of them held by 4*3 across the wheel arches

You have to do what you feel comfortable with

You'll be fine as you are Colin. Each pallet can stand up to at least a ton. Spreading the load is the right way to do it mate, but you need to have a castor in the middle each side under the join.

Wouldn't that be putting too much weight on a smaller area causing more chance of bending, flexing and chance of cracking ?
I thought it would be better to spread the weight as much as possible.

Just a note really but your 4x2 will flex that way round..it's structural the other way round and won't flex as much, if you need any timber or pallets drop me a text and I'll bring some tomorrow (I run a builders merchants)

[Cokes]

The 4x2's were fitted that way to just tie the pallets together rather than structural support but then again I'm an electrician, what do I know
I'll take any help and advice I can get
I have bought more wheels to span the joint in the pallets, do you think that should do the trick ?

[J400GED]

Yep

Yep

Thanks

What weight are your castors rated to?

[Cokes]

150kg per wheel.

[J400GED]

So long as you have the six as mentioned before, that more than enough mate.

I'd say so...lets not over think it!!

Mike, he wasn't over thinking it - it was all under control until you and jojackson4 decided to "help"

[jojackson4]

[Cokes]

Anyway, that's done.

Got KitKats for the guys helping with the lift today

[Cokes]

She's apart
A huge thank you to Mark and Mike, couldn't have done it without you.



Further update when I get home.

[jojackson4]

[Cokes]

Strapped up and ready for the lift, Mark was happy and ready for action.



Slowly lifted and checking for anything still connected.
Fuel hoses through into the boot and fuel pump wiring.

Then there was this one I couldn't disconnect.



Nearly there and we have the TVR 4x4.



Body free.



The worst bit.



And finaly rather than a hundred pictures here's the chassis in video form.

Nice work!

Pretty poor someone trapping the harness there! Which wires did they squash?

[Cokes]

There was a couple of earths to the back of the block (39 in previous pics) and these.
Not sure where they broke from and not traced them into the dash yet to see where they go. If anyone knows the colours please share



Unfortunately it looks like they cracked the bell housing as well when it jammed.

[J400GED]

Excellent work mate.
