ALKO SERVICE

Can find my nipples to grease my torsion bar suspension do i need to do this now got airride suspension fitted. Also took of front wheels shock just behind wheels rust on chassis urgent clean up treatment then wax oil ,all cab chassis

Yes Mike but you have too jack the axle up so the wheels are of the floor,grease it then.

Bob

carnt find grease pionts do you have to lift both sides

Grease points are on the bottom of the axle at each end next to the inboard side of the chassis rails.
You can jack one side at a time but the handbrake must be OFF so chock the front opposite wheel to the side you're are greasing.

Ok i have 2 ton troley jack will lift one side a time and let air out of airride

Why?

Would that not return it to its normal persision

It doesn't want to be in it's normal position. The normal position is sat on it's wheels and suspension.
You jack the chassis up to take all weight off the wheel so it is hanging from the axle
Air in the suspension will only help that.

Is it like this?

That looks the dogs you wont get them on ebay as a kit

Are all alko chassis same width

This one is going into stock for potential customers, a second one is in raw state to make when required.
Getting the winding mechanism for a good price is pains taking.


Manufacture supply & fit is probably going to be £350 so it's not a toy and only for those who appreciate the time and work involved and the space gained in the garage

Good question and I think so. I imagine the wide track is simply a longer axle not a wider chassis

I would think this would go well in mmm mag or pos shows be carefull some one will copy your design and make shore you dont do same

I published it everywhere for the purpose of people making their own.
I only cater for those who have no ability or inclination.
