Basic rotator?

[Storrsy]

std Kins rotator centres then on M16 bolts


minimum height to pin ctrs from base plate ?

Goodness now yer asking. Only the front hook needs clearance- think 40mm under the pin would be minimum but think Gavin better get his tape out

Few pics just to stash on here for future...
Must have been fun getting these bolts in

You understand now why it's a pita to remove...loosen wiggle up a bit etc as no clearance to turn bolt.
Currently thinking best way is simple manual rotate like druids...when I can get to it.

Yeah I wondered when Nigel did the hitch he bolted the base plate on first and then welded the hitch cheeks to it!? Removed the hitch once and muttered the same things you probably muttered!

I'd be showing that the gas axe and notching it vertical above the bolt heads a good 1"+ ... would have no detrimental effect whatsoever to that beast of a mount

Could you weld captive nuts on the top and bolt from below?

would have to drill out the threads in the lower plate ... gas axe is the easier solution

Yep I'm going to mod it. Threads arent in great shape either now. Winter job
