Sheila's Sparewheel and slide

[george]

Hi
I have added a spare wheel carrier and slide to her.
We used a Carolla rear wheal hub for the bracket.The bracket is welded to the chasis so it should be strong.

Georgie, die final product lyk nice

[BenHur]

Pragtig George, maar jy moet onthou om die lig aan te switch as jy foudies neem.

[ThysdJ]

Very oulik Jorsie!! What are the weight rating of the "furnsliders" (whatchamakallit) that you used for the slide?

Dankie Bennie

What are the weight rating of the "furnsliders"

They are rated for a 100kg.Will see if it holds.
Niel jou frame is klaar

BTW.They guy that did this for me is also willing to do other jobs.You buy the material and he will charge you his labour.
He do this after hours.

[ThysdJ]

They are rated for a 100kg.Will see if it holds.

Each? So combined it can take 200kg? Should be okay.

You can get some more usable carrying capacity if you used 9mm ply in stead of 19mm...

Ek was nie lus vir bordjie wat hang in die middel nie.Sover ek weet is die 100kg vir altwee saam.Maar dit behoort te werk vir my.Ek pak nie so baie bier in my engel nie.

Ek hoop nie jy wil Niel op daai slide laai nie want teen 100kg rating sal Neil die bearings in daai slide opsieze 1st time round.

Neil

Gaan jy ook so sparewheel carrier bou.

Edit O ja jy het mos nie ene nodig nie jou spaarwiel hang sommer om jou middellyf

Dan het jy nog slegte oë ok

[Niel]

Daai storie van beam me up Scotty gaan nie vir jou werk nie Moet nou nie George se thread verder hi jack nie

[george]

Gou 'n vragie.
Ek het my Engel 40 lt op die slide vasgemaak met turnbuckels maar ek is nie baie happy daarmee nie.Die handvatsels voel ek gaan uitskeer.Nou wil ek gou hoor hoe het van die ander manne hierdie probleem oorkom.
Sover het ek 3 opsies.
1.draai die handvatsels om,maar dan kan hulle weer seer kry as ek hom moet dra/of nie
2.Koop daai lock tray van megaworld(Bietjie duur)
3.Kry langer skroewe en bout die vrieskas vas aan sy voetstukke(Gaan lank vat om afte haal en op te sit

sal graag wil hoor van nog opsies

BTW.Ek wil my gas bottel agter die yskas staanmaak soos op foto 2.Is daar enige gevaar risiko of moet ek hom maar weg van die yskas sit.

Cheers vir eers.Ek gaan nou Mosselbaai toe.Praat Maandag met julle.Julle kan maar bollie praat op die topic solank daar 'n oplossing by is

[ThysdJ]

Haak die turnbuckles nader aan die kante van die handvatsels waar hulle aan die yskas vaskom. Dis stewiger daar. Ook, jy hoef nie die turnbuckles SO styf vas te draai nie.

[Niel]

Ek gaan nou Mosselbaai

Lekker, geniet en kom veilig tuis.

BTW.Ek wil my gas bottel agter die yskas staanmaak soos op foto 2.Is daar enige gevaar risiko of moet ek hom maar weg van die yskas sit.

Ek was ook nooit n fan van gasbottels buite n voertuig nie tot ek gesien het hoe lyk dit as n gasbottel in n voertuig boem gaan. Jy weet wat ek gedoen het (buite)

Koop daai lock tray van megaworld(Bietjie duur)

Bou self een dit kan nie so moeilik wees nie Of gebruik eerder bande
Sal bietjie dink daaroor

HMMM...Moet nou nie dat die rook alarms afgaan nie

Must say I'm not wild about gas cylinders in a vehicle, but hey, that's just me! (And the owner of this Hilux, I suppose...)

[Niel]

yip, these are the pics I was referring too. I see a lot of chaps driving with the gas bottles on the vehicle every day and I wonder why. I agree not inside but rather on top or at the back

[Family_Dog]

Niel, granted that that damage was caused by a leaking Acetylene bottle that was on the back seat, but I doubt that the damage caused by a leaking gas bottle would indeed be much different. Fortunately, no one was killed in the incident. I have lost a friend who had a normal Cadac gas bottle on the back seat of his Jetta that became a flying missile and struck him on his head when he had a blowout and the car struck a stationary car parked alongside the road. He succumbed in hospital, never regaining consciousness.

Eric now you realy scare me.What was the primary cause to activate a explotion like that?Always been a bit over cautious with gas but if wifey sees that, no more gas equipment closer than 5km for us.From what I can make out it seems that the explotion went off inside the cab.That tells me the vehicle was unattended and not while the occupants were driving it.BRRRRR..........!!!! Sorry for hijacking your post GEORGE. If we meet each other at Baby Torin I will show you my homemade fridge slide.

[BenHur]

I also wondered about that one before. Must have been a freak accident Even an acetylene bottle should not really explode like that. I remember in metal work standard 6 we were taught that the inside of an acetylene bottle looks like a hony comb ... bla bla bla...to prevent it from exploding. :? :? :?

[Family_Dog]

The vehicle was parked and they figure that there was an ever so slight leak of gas from the bottle. When the driver opened the door, they assume the spark, small as it was, from the door switch operating the dome light triggered the explosion.

The driver survived, but a lot of damage was caused.


LEAKING ACETYLENE CYLINDER DESTROYS CAR
A Tradesman leaving for work had an incredible escape when it’s thought his mobile phone helped spark a massive explosion from a leaking acetylene cylinder.

The Newcastle worker, was being hailed a miracle man after suffering only a perforated eardrum and minor burns despite his Toyota HiLux resembling the remains of a car bomb attack.

The Fitter left an E size Oxygen and Acetylene cylinder on the back seat of a Toyota dual cab over the weekend. The Acetylene cylinder must not have been fully closed and a small leak occurred.

On the Monday morning the fitter approached the van and opened the door, a large explosion took place.
It is believed that the ignition could have been caused by either the internal light, the automatic door control or by his mobile phone.

Fourteen windows in neighbouring building were shattered in the explosion and debris from the HiLux and two other cars which were parked nearby were scattered across a wide area. Houses more than 40 metres away were showered with plastic and glass and the HiLux’s roof was torn off and thrown 10 metres away.

The man spent the night in a local hospital for observation. His condition was described as stable.

It's a scary thought. We tend to take Gas bottles for granted, but a normal LPG Gas Cylinder would do much the same if it blew up in a car as well. I would say gas bottles should only be mounted externally, and even then only carried when needed.

So it was not the bottle exploding but rather a gas leak. So if the bottle is fitted uncovered outside like the norm, this should not happen then.

I have my large bottle outside the trailer and the small one normally goes into the drawer inside. Guess I will have to get a outside mounting for it too.

[george]

Howzit

I guess fitting the bottle outside is better.But I do not realy have space and do not like fitting things outside.Except the spare wheel :roll: .I also think that if you carry it inside,make sure that the bottle is in good condition.Maybe test it with some soapy water to see if it leaks.
