darth_kitten Posted November 14, 2023 Share Posted November 14, 2023 Hoping someone might have this dimension handy or a hull they can measure. Thanks to 5280Beltfed for sharing the drawing on this site. Since the dimension isn't directly called out, I tried to extrapolate it using the other dimensions in the drawing and came up with 3.875", but that seems to large to me. Can someone confirm, or correct? Thanks! Mark Cook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 Mark - will get you an actual measurement today. That being said... If you have the top two holes of the track tensioner brackets....they are parallel to one another so just mark the centerline of the front bracket and mark the centerline of the rear bracket. Fine thread captive nuts on the back and make them beefy because once you close everything up with the hat channels on the inside, getting back in there is a major fiasco so you have do surgery from the outside.

darth_kitten Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks Patrick, my problem is the that this area is completely split at this point. I have the upper holes lined up, but need to a lower reference as well. I can use the measurement from the first spring mount to the front axle if needed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 3 7/8"....center to center. Let's see that build thread baby! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth_kitten Posted November 15, 2023 Author Share Posted November 15, 2023 Thanks Patrick, I just got out and measured and 3 7/8 is not as far off as I thought. Time to weld up some bracing, true things up, and start patching. It aint pretty. FYI, I've been thinking about creating a thread on here to duplicate my FB posts.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick Tipton Posted November 16, 2023 Share Posted November 16, 2023 The nice thing about the build thread being here....it will live on. Facebook buries stuff and it becomes very hard to access. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
