I'm sorry to say i would not use these chassis, but if you choose to I would add an extra gusset plate at the front kick-up and replace the shocker bolts with studs like an original chassis. I've seen a good number of these break.[/img]

Jan-Willem, make sure with the RDW you can use that chassis. They are proably not aware of every thing, but the chassis haveben a major issue in the Netherlands and most RDW people know what is allowed and what isn't. I don't think just painting it black will get you trough, although you may be lucky.
As far as I'm aware you either need a TueV approved chassis, a original or a RDW approved chassis from some dutch supplier.

Cheers, Bart

btw. I have heard these city chassis don't cost a lot but are expensive...., if you see what I mean. Must say that it only heard about it so can't tell from own experiance

Men my English is shit although my blacksmiths teacher is also an English man.
All of my text is moved by Word spelling correction, Else you don’t understand shit of what I’m writing.
but I do not now what a kick up is, are that the front legs of the chassis where you mount the bumper?

I have had to repair a couple of these chassis where they break at the weld. I think it will help to weld in a plate from 3mm steel sheet where it shows in the picture. You will have to grind the galvanising off first. I do not know if they break in other places (apart from the shock mounting bolts) but hopefully this will prevent it breaking here.

Is that breakage in stock setup or hard suspension setup ?

yes but if you reed everything that is written. there is al line of text that say's : "I do not know if they break in other places (apart from the shock mounting bolts)"

because earlier there was written : " I'm sorry to say I would not use these chassis, but if you choose to I would add an extra gusset plate at the front kick-up and replace the shocker bolts with studs like an original chassis. I've seen a good number of these break."

so I was asking about the bolts. I can understand it needs an reinforcement plate
1 question about the reinforcement plate dos that helps stop the wobbling to?

and no I’m not going to restore my old chassis that’s rusting like hell when I got an galvanized one.

Jan-Willem, shock mounting bolts = schokbreker montage bouten...
Those are the bolts in the chassis close to the springtubes. They bolt with one end in the chassis and the other end is the pin to mount the shock (absorber Wink

) on.

Regarding using the galvenized on original chassis... I can only advice to read through the lines. Probably the only advantage of that galvenized chassis is that it is galvanized.

oke then I pictured it wrong, I thought it was about the bolts that mount the axel to the chassis.
I read the text wrong.

What is the difference between bolts & studs, what are studs?

Bart · Posted: Wed Feb 17, 2010 8:23 pm Post subject:

bolt(s) = bout(en)
stud(s) = pin(nen)
alhoewel een stud een iets bredere betekenis heeft als pin. Bijvoorbeeld studed tyres = spijker banden.
