Stabilizer system mountings & installation.

Now that the Electrical drive system is completed for the Rear stabilizers work can proceed to the Leg mountings, these will be constructed from 8mm plate & 100 x 150 x 8mm steel angle. the completed mounts will be welded to the outer ends of the rear suspension Air Bag cross members.

The legs will be bolted behind the cross members in an area which is unimpeded by other equipment. As I am not confident in my vertical welding abilities I will have these mounts welded by a qualified welder, a friend of mine has been very kind in accepting this challenge as the position of the job makes it very hard to access. (Thank you Ken Schoulderman)

The cost of the rear stabilizer system  not counting my time has been very reasonable, Total Cost for Equipment has been just under $1400.00 + (2 cartons of Beer).

Space between the mount bracket & rear wall of wheel well is very tight, does not look so in photo but there is just enough room for Leg to be bolted behind.
