Front eye-bolt dimensions?

Post by **RobThomas** » Sun Dec 13, 2009 6:48 pm

Does anyone have a front suspension eye bolt hand and be able to maesure the dimension of the bolt part that slips through the hole in the chassis rail? I\'m making a chassis trolley that holds the chassis off the floor for welding and other work and it needs to be pinned via the chassis rail holes since the suspension will all be off. I\'ll stick a thick bar through the holes and through holes in vertical sections of 2 inch box section that rise up off the main trolley rails.

Thanks

11/16'' diameter.

If only it were 5/8" it would be much easier to source washers to adjust the camber!!

I used a plate - with hole bored - spreads the loads around!

So did I- I have a 5/8" drill, but that extra 1/16" was a bugger with a file!

Thanks. I've got to file 4 holes through 4mm box section steel tube to make the frame. I've got a 5/8 drill, too.

When finished, I should have the whole shell 12 inches further off the ground than normal. Fine for welding and painting any shell. It is 4.5 feet wide and just over 5.5 feet long with industrial castors on the corners.

You might have to re-calibrate the speedo for the smaller wheel size, but check it with GPS first!
