whats wrong with this pic!

Don't laugh too much, but I got this 3 years ago in pieces, just don't look right to me, there are 2 nice bolts at the rear wheel(well at least the way I built it) that look ideal for the bracing rods, but they dont reach there, if I put the insert bars& wheels in the other way they they fit but I'm pretty sure you want the length out front where the weight will be, put it together using the old marks on it, but the lock downs don't match up either, could the base be upside down? I figgered the tighten down bolts should be on top?
I'm sure someone out there has this model, where did I go wrong(there were no lock pins were the wheel bars meet & I put the braces, I scrounged those two up!

that's close to "Torks" .

almost looks as if the "main beam??" is reversed. 4 bolts I'd think narrower at the back widening toward the rear bumper.

Turn your main hoist beam 180* and then swap your long legs and your short around and you should be good to go.

Vup, you'll fold that sucker over with vary little weight on it if you try to use it like that. like was said above the short legs and the long legs need to be swapped.

:doh: So it leans away from the load, that didn't seem kosher to me, but the position of the lock down marks make more sense that way! Give it a whirl tomorrow! Thanks guys! Rich.

:doh: So it leans away from the load,

that would be correct. If you get frustrated, i have a hoist here if you need it.

I'll get it, just kinda pieced it together as "I thought" it might go, should be fine now, C-man wasn't around(his old hoist) to bug. I'll reverse it today & bug him if I have a problem.
Trying to get everything ready for the "DROP IN" :giggedy:
Ordered some small parts , another 100 out the door, but will have the fuel tank grommet & trunkfloor seal,torsion bar clips & boots, body rubber bumper kit & stearing coupler kit at the ready & will order the tank sender soon.
Trying to decide if I want to put the dash in for the winter w/no glass in the car & possible visits from my furry little friends out there, but that & the stearing column could maybe go in, we'll see when the time comes? Rich.
