what are the laws about taking out the front center radiator brace & making it a bolt on , bolt off part?? as would make removing the motor alot better.

as far as i know it is not a major structur of the van/truck.

anyone know??

I think the Series 2 beddies (square nose) have that set up, someone correct me if I'm wrong

Warren you are correct, if you do this in the Mk 1 you need to brace each side with 2inch x 3ml flat steel runners. (for WOF reasons)
I did this on mine before I changed it to a Mk 2 front, this old photo shows the bolt holes the steel was bolted too. ( this passed WOF)

Hay, I'm no longer a Gumbie, but now I'm full of bog, I don't no what one is better.

thanks Bas NZ.

looks like what i want to do... saves taking the body so high in removing the motor.

the brace steel goes behind the front bolt holes either side?? & was it welded in or not. ??

thanks
