The music is great

Do a lot of LR chassis repairs - I find it's one vehicle where a plasma cutter comes in really handy for cutting out grot. On those specific outriggers, you really need to cut away that lower outer section as well - the damn rust lurks in behind it, hiding. Another sneaky spot is in behind the rear springs - if loads took their springs off, they'd see holey behind on the chassis wall inside the spring-bracket - a sod of a spot to fix unless you have a plasma as well. :-)

Yeah this one was good behind the lower part but the drivers side was a buggered! I'm tackling the rear of the chassis currently and it has rotted behind the drivers side rear spring and bump stop, also got some nasty rot under the A frame cross member, if you're on insta have a look for me on there I post more on there than KZbin as KZbin takes twice as long to do the job and then hours for editing too!

I would LOVE IT if my outrigger looked that good!! 😂

👌👍

[@gregorydobson4307]

And don't forget to spray inside it with wax oil as they usually rot from inside out 👍

[@mozsmancave2331]

Don't worry, it's been lathered in it, I don't fancy doing it again 😅

Hi mate, great video which will be really helpful. What panels/stuff do you need to remove to gain enough access for the job?

[@mozsmancave2331]

Hi, I had the wings and some of the bulkhead removed (as I was carrying out the repairs to the bulk head at the same time)

[@christopherastbury6644]

Hi, Excellent video for replacing the outrigger. Do you have to take the wing, doors off for this task please.

[@mozsmancave2331]

No you don't, but it is far easier to do without the wing on

[@tomthompson7400]

How do you know that the bottom corner on the bulkhead is in the right place though?

[@mozsmancave2331]

Hi, the sill is holding bulkhead in place at the bottom of the "a post", you can see the big G clamp in the back ground from the sill to the rock slider. That's how I did it, alternatively you would measure the position from various points of the chassis 👍🏻

[@stepho9999]

Could you recomend a good chassis paint ..inside and out

[@mozsmancave2331]

Buzzweld has good reviews and is supposed to be the best. Personally not used it.

[@stepho9999]

@@mozsmancave2331 what do you use

[@mozsmancave2331]

@@stepho9999 I've used the autotek stone guard to see how it holds up as a cheaper alternative, used hammerite up to now with decent results

[@temsbab1565]

Waxoyl, shultz, red lead primer or galv spray if your rich

[@tomthompson7400]

@@temsbab1565 Waxoyl creates far more problems than it solves , its woeful stuff.

[@Menditman2014]

Good stuff, what welder are you using?

[@mozsmancave2331]

Currently using the SIP weldmate 2300mp, it can do mig gas and gasless, tig and stick. It's fairly compact too

[@Menditman2014]

Moz's Mancave Mine a cebora boxer 155 twin (what ever all that means🤣🤣) I welded a lot of my old transit camper up years ago with one of those (but the one I used then wasn’t mine) . Then I bought a sealey welder I just couldn’t get on with that, so I found a Cebora the same and bought that it’s been great.

[@mozsmancave2331]

@@Menditman2014 I really can't complain about the little sip I have, it's been awesome and it was only around £500 new. And it's 200 amp. I also have an old Miller tig welder sat under the bench, and it's bloody massive 😅 overall dimensions are around 900mm long x 500mm wide x 700mm high. I'm yet to get it running on 240v electrics but apparently it is possible to step the power down from 3 phase 415v.

[@Menditman2014]

Moz's Mancave Yes my dads got a what was a 3 phase compressor and it runs through a box and runs on normal mains now. That was for a sand blasting cabinet but the compressor hasn’t been used for a good while. But I did purchase for my self what may become a new business venture (a pro sand blasting set up with a big road tow compressor) it will be featured soon on my other channel. Did you sub that channel?

[@mozsmancave2331]

@@Menditman2014 I've been meaning to take a look at your channel, will have a look when I'm on break 😏 I think this particular welder you can remove 2 of the phases in the back of the machine so it will run 240v, possibly may video getting it up and running...

[@stepho9999]

What spray did you use ? thanks

[@mozsmancave2331]

Just the stone guard from auto tech, it's around £20 for 4 tins and seems to be pretty decent for the price.

[@stepho9999]

@@mozsmancave2331 Is that what you used in the chassis when doing the outrigger .

[@mozsmancave2331]

Yes, it's has rust inhibitors in it 👍🏻
