Brute force and ignorance? Is that the secret?

hmmmm... going off what i have experienced in my current experament, looks like EJ engine crossmember but shortened or MY crossmember with EJ control arm mounts.

i cant tell by the picture but are the mounting points pretty much directly under the chassis rail??? if so i would have a guess n say that would give you stock EJ width??? nice and easy for CV's...

cant wait to see the progress... its always fun to see that every build is different, i should start posting pics of my progress soon too...

cheers

and standard MY mounting points... so you cant have move the crossmember to the wider part of the chassis rails then???

niterida · Post by **niterida** » Sat Oct 15, 2011 4:41 pm

All will be revealed soon. Well when I say soon I mean sometime in November. I have to work solid for the next 4 weeks then I have 2 weeks off and will get some more done and post some more pics......

move the chassis rails outwards to EJ crossmember width, reweld pan / inner guards to rails. EJ lower control arm mount welded on to MY rails / pan or adapter made and fitted using existing holes.
how are you going to fit the box in the MY tunnel? body lift for clearance? i seen on MV brat brumby forum that you wanted to stitch in the lib tunnel but i got confused as to which brumby you are building / talking about. Is there more updates on that forum?

I'm excited - my cunning plan is coming together - done lots of cutting and grinding over the last 2 days and tomorrow I start welding and putting it back together - woo hoo.

Hopefully should have photos in a couple of days.

Heaps of thanks to Guyph_01 for the freebie shell to cut up to make this possible

No probs, Id rather see the shell put to use than getting crushed..., See, KPM isn't that bad...

(not sure of my AKA, Jules)...

I'll let you know when the Lib is ready if you still want that too...

And once I have finished this build whats left of your shell will make Brumby No2 and will be even more cunning.......

It involves bits of your Liberty shell so yeah I still want that too.
Will be down in Perth in 2 weeks and will catch up with you then.

Still quite some bits on it but i guess we could strip it if you want to take it then:)

niterida · Post by **niterida** » Fri Nov 11, 2011 9:14 pm

Got more done today and its starting to really come together - hopefully will be able to reveal all before the end of next week. I've amazed even myself with my cunningness and how well it is going

Patience grasshopper

I reckon one or maybe 2 more days in my shed and it will be at a stage that I can reveal all. so maybe tuesday but definitely by thursday.

Although its probably not as exciting for everyone else as it is for me
