Sleeved Frame

Lou,

I hope you don't mind, me helping out with the question. The mounting holes for your 60 box are sleeved. If you look closely at the second photo you can see that the washers and nuts sit off the frame on small pieces of tube. When you sleeve the frame you over drill the holes and then insert and weld a piece of tube so that when you tighten the bolts it is trying to compress the tube not crushing the frame. I don't mean to condradict you, but when I talked to Lance he told me he wouldn't do power steering conversion without sleeving the frame.

I'll post those pic's when it's done. Truth is , any tech question like shock mount position etc.. I'am not the guy but Lance could explain those details. There are a few post that have mention Iron Pig Power Steering and the fact that Lance has wheeled quite a few pigs I would have to say its time and trail tested. Looking at the second photo the vertical weld on the frame behind the pitman is an engine bracket, not sure if the answers the sleeved question.
