Gravity fluid chamber

Just waiting for my hog mat to arrive then bread crate the rest
All in all pretty happy

Now that is a nice piece of work mate.
Can hardly wait too see it get dirty.

 

[Mudguts]

Thanks mate
The best part is I'm in it so far to the tune of $63
Gotta love being a retired welder

That's really sweet mudguts!
Wish I had the skills to weld alloy.

But nothing you can't fix with a poly fan disk

Cut and fitted the bread crate over moss and ripple rubber and the hold down clips

And then a spray bar was next
I think this one fits perfectly

So all I all I am very happy so far
Just need my hog mat to arrive for the top half then it's Showtime

Can you please show me how the bread crate sits over the ripple rubber? Cheers, Nick.

 

[Mudguts]

It's just crate Bunnings moss then ripple rubber to stop the black sand and fine gold working its way out under the moss on a long run
The ripple is not stuck down so you just roll it up and wash it in a bucket
