rear cover mount watts, GM 10 bolt

[DHPmike]

I just sent the first rear cover mount watts to BYD rod and custom. Gavin should be installing it on the square body Suburban very soon with pics to follow.

I mocked it up on a 10 bolt rearend I have at the shop. It stick out from the rear cover only 4.5" so realistically you need about 5 inches of clearance to use one. I think this would be great on a Suburban, Tahoe, Yukon, Denali etc. Anything with a fuel tank just behind the axle with very little clearance.

This is something I need to work on for Blazers as well. I will start making rear cover pieces for S-10, Ranger, Colorado etc.

look for pics and updates soon.

saw it yesterday. looked bullet proof (which is no surprise)

Mike, I'm gonna post pics tonight. I got it all bolted up and ready to weld the tabs to the frame and the welder was on the other side of the shop so I started working on another part of the burban and never welded the tabs. I've got a.d.d. real bad. I'm gonna get it welded on today.

On a side note I want to do this setup on my dually. Just a 2link with the bolt on wats. Its got a 14 bolt off a cab and chassis so I dont have to narrow it. Let me know what it would take to make that bolt on cover.

I just need the cover so I can make the diagram for the holes and know how far it sticks up. I would need the cover for a day or so. OR you could take a nice clean piece of posterboard and trace the cover holes on it, plus measure how tall the cover is laying flat. Then I can make something on my adjustable jig.

and yes it as bulletproof. made of 1/8" AR500, which stops most handguns

I may be interested in the 14 bolt also and mine is a cab and chassis axle.

I did lots of wrecking yard research yesterday. I wish I had known about the 14 bolt thing I would have snatched up a 14 bolt cover.

I will be working on it

I've got the cover off mine so I'll clean it up and drop it by one day this week. I'll be in dallas tuesday or wednesday.

Very nice!

Do you have to worry about breaking bolts off in the pumpkin? I guess theres not that much pressure on them because its for a watts link and not your upper to bars ( like suicide doors makes)

between the 2 of you guys... you're doin some cool shit... keep it up

[DHPmike]

thanks,

the plates are 1/8" armor so they are super strong. Also the next one I make will have oval shaped holes in the plates and the Z shaped center like the other watts links I sell.

The bolts are grade 8 and theres 6 so they should be good to go. it takes alot of weight just to break one.
