What did you do to your jimny today?

I wrapped a ratchet strap round the axle and of to the chassis with a bit of tightening up on the strap you can get the holes lined up and radious arms stay in place wile fitting

I had this problem as I wanted to get the old bolt back in just to hold the arm in place so I can drive the J up onto the ramps tomorrow and try again.

I have an idea of getting a piece of wood dowelling that is just the right length and diameter to push fit the spacers over the ends and hold them in place in the chassis mount. Then once I have slid the guard over the top and aligned the holes, I should be able to knock the dowel through with the bolt.

best way would probably be to tack them on with a welder

i like your dowel idea tho that could work.

had a little run out on me day off testing all new parts all is good

You might like this then. Not co-axial and it is fixed pitch but for indoor flying in the house it is unbeatable.

Well I did not quite work. I got the dowelling in and the spacers fitted, and the guard slide one and lined up a treat.

But when I started to knock the bolt through and the dowel out, the stress on the radius arm caused the hole to come out of line. I think its where both the bolt and dowel were partially in, so not a single solid piece throughout holding it all together.

But I did manage to get one guard lined up pretty quickly after that, but I still can't get the bolt all the way through. I have bought a ratchet strap from 'Frauds so I can bring it all in line tomorrow with that and get these fitted.
