Bridge salvage/repair


Recommended Posts

Over two years ago before I knew better I bought a supposedly reinforced bridge from Rimmers and fitted it to my chassis. Problem was that the diff cut out was on the wrong side and after been advised by others the spring mounts on inspection were welded across there diameter and had cracked for some people releasing the spring! in fact the springs had already indented metal.

 So I was left with a choice undo all my seam welding and buy a CTM bridge; good choice or beef up what I had so over the weekend I made some repair sections out of 2.2mm plate and welded them in along with some plates to the diff pins. All I can say is the bridge will now out live longer than me and is solid. So if anyone in the same boat there is another option.
