these are the jigs for lining up the back axle :D basically 4 wheel middles burnt out by myself :D bolted together back to back and spaced in line exactly 750mm apart then ive welded 2 box sections on to hold them secure :D

for those who arnt sure............. how it will work is the front axle (of the rear 2) will stay in the same position it's in now these will bolt up to it, 1 either side, and the rear most trailing axle (which will have the springs fitted) will bolt to the other ends, we'll then weld on the mounts for the rearmost axle so it will be in the correct position :D we'll then unbolt these throw them in the bin - job done 8)
