Re: Bob's M1070

Update on the fifth wheel. I ordered the one from Joe and it got to me today. It IS $30 cheaper, but it isn't the same fifth wheel at all. They both sit at about the same height, and are both made...

Re: Bob's M1070

It's great to know that I can get it even cheaper than I did, because I need another one for a Scania 8x8. Thank you for the link to Joe. I like your idea of changing out the base, as this one is...

Re: Bob's M1070

Bob, I don't know if you have the fifth wheel figured out for your build yet, but I just found this one for mine (which isn't nearly as progressed as yours is).

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

They're hex drive. I measure 25mm wide, with 48mm at the point where the tire bead sits, and 52mm at the flange outside the tire bead. And, if you want them, I have eight of these wheels as spares,...

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

I pulled off a set of wheels to measure my axle. I am using aftermerket aluminum end pieces that lock the steering, but I don't believe it changes the width from stock. Width of the axle case (to...

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)

Bob, my first chassis was 23" long. I tried mounting TLT axles on it, but they were too close together to allow the rear one to steer, and also too wide for the length of the chassis. I agree that...

Re: Bob's M1070 (maybe)
