There’s an understatement! I don’t know what I would do if I had to empty out my place like you had to do.John, I have been frying bigger fish.
Thanks for the concern @65swb45.There’s an understatement! I don’t know what I would do if I had to empty out my place like you had to do.
I don’t mean to mess up this thread but yes, it was extremely stressful. My mom was out and really, that’s all that mattered.Very glad to hear you guys didn't burn, was in the same boat a year ago today, not a fun experience, and a bit overwhelming to evacuate all the junk we seem to all have!
That would be interesting to see the step by step documentation on that. Would you use bronze?I'm still thinking about casting these from originals. Need that round tuit first.
Are these winch shims? Been on mine since I've owned it, I had a winch and the pto box is still attatchedLooking for a full set of mounting shims for PTO winch. Ideally located north of the border to avoid customs charges etc.

Step away, and save me a set! I was going to try bronze just for fun, but the originals look cast iron.I've got a good source here in phoenix that can do cast iron. Spoke with @pardion briefly and should be able to get a set to me sometime soon to use for the mold. If there's a demand I can get a batch made and just pass them on for whatever cost the casting guy gives me. I know I need a set myself, might as well get them to everyone else that needs them. Unless someone else already has this going? Don't want to step on any toes. @HelloKitty65 or @FJ40Savvy
@FJ40Savvy what are you making yours out of?
Also very thankful they've got those Tahoe fires under control, we were there in July when we thought the smoke was bad but it got so much worse. Its scary how dry everything is there, I'm sure the locals won't feel comfortable until they get some consistent precipitation.
The cast iron ones would be the best option to try and match OEM however way above my pay grade and skills. I'm making mine out of mild steel. I have a manual mill which allowed me to create the angle on them and dimension them as close to the original as possible. There are pictures below with a quarter for size reference. I still need to drill the holes and clean them up but that will have to wait until Louie is parked for the winter.Step away, and save me a set!
