Re: lightweight v8 project
Just need the tape to hold for about three years and the vent seals might finally stay in place.

Re: lightweight v8 project
That's coming along great. What's going on with the tailgate hinges Callum, the chassis mounts look fine?
Re: lightweight v8 project
Hi Jamie so when I’ve offered them up to the truck there about an inch out! Unless I’m doing something completely wrong I’ve not got a clue. I suppose if they’ve been welded wrong that the only explanation.

Re: lightweight v8 project
Hmm, I'm not sure too tbh. My initial thoughts were that the bracket on the chassis was okay but having looked again and the fact both tailgate hinges would be short, I'm now thinking it is the chassis bracket.

Re: lightweight v8 project
Now im trying to line up the floor holes but I feel the spacers I’ve put in the bulkhead bolt has pushed everything out of sync…. Problem is I can’t get the doors right without the bolts
