Body hold downs?

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   What is SUPPOSED to be here? This is a (genuine) 2 x 4 that runs the width of the Jeep just in front of the frame center crossmember. The tub was nailed to each end of it until I pulled the nails. How do the body hold downs look here on a "normal" 48? Help, pictures, WTFs appreciated! The pic is looking in over the right rear tire.

	Look at pictures 3,4&5 down on page 1. The floor riser was the support, I believe. http://www.thecj2apage.com/forums/ralphs-47-progress_topic9572_page1.html?KW=wiring

	Classic Enterprises sells them https://www.classicent.com/jeep.php#4164 Scroll down about 1/3 of the page, below diagram of floor parts, for the riser. Or make your own.

	. I thought we already replaced the wood and nails? Oh wait . . ANOTHER one?? I forget about that one. Let me know if you would like some help welding etc. I still have your sheet metal here. Anyone know what gauge that piece would be? I am hoping to get my '51 '3A from my parents' over Labor Day weekend. Maybe we can find time for some dual-scabby days.

	Got the 2 x 4 out. Fitting the new bracing. Had a flashback to my roots when I pushed the concrete blocks underneath!
