Thanks, glad you like it! :-) Both the two fixing points in the front of the front of the supportframe, and the one in the rear of the frame have bronze bushings with grooves for grease lubrication. The bolts in the front are Ø35mm and the one in the rear Ø45mm. All three bolts are machined...

That's comforting to hear Victorian:-) I have to say that I'm also finding it quite satisfying to work with. It's also very relaxing to know that you have 90 min of processing time available, so you dont have to rush things, but can relax and take the time needed to do it proper the first time:-)

I'm working as fast as I can:-) The panels are glued together with a one component sealant glue (based on POP heteropolymer), named Körapop 225 (Datasheet: http://planoplastics.nl/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/Koerapop_225_gb_2013_10.pdf) Both the outer and inner corner profiles are made of...

It depends on the surrounding temperature. The seals for the first two walls took a little less than 3 days to dry up and harden. But now the night time temperature barely exceeds the freezing point and in the day time seldom above 10 degrees Celsius. So the the lower part of the rear wall took...

Continued with the gluing, both parts of the rear wall are now installed. We are currently waiting for the glue to dry, so that we can tackle the last wall and the roof. Please excuse the blurry cell phone photos and all the mess at the garage floor. - I like to call it "creative mess":) The...

So we finally also started gluing the sandwich panels together. Started with the floor, front wall and the right wall. When the glue has hardened here, we will continue with the panels for the rear wall, then the left wall and finaly the roof. When all panels are in place we will ad angel...

Think we need to get together once Jostein, guess we won't have any problem finding a subject to discuss either:-)

Hi Ian, I will propably make up something similar when I find the time for it. I have one more alu-tank wich I will fit to the other side, so that total fuel capasity will be 2x 270L =540L. An additional filtration system would then be nice to have to prevent the feed pump from failing again. I...

Supportframe and temporary fenders over the rear axle fitted:

Chassis mountings, old worn out ones from the old supportframe vs. new heavy duty CNC-machined ones:):

When the truck was running again it was back to the supportframe. After doing the final adjustments to the mounting brackets all welds were made up, the frame sandblasted and painted according to Norwegian offshore standard (Barrier Zink primer+Jotamastic+Hardtop polyurethane topcoat)

We have also been buzzy finishing the support frame and the corresponding brackets for mounting it to the chassis frame. First test fitting it to the chassis: My grandfather stopping by to inspect the build: Then a small setback with unexpected failure of the diesel feed pump. This made...

So, finaly time for an update again:) Some weeks ago I took some days of from work and went down to Thüringen Germany to pick up the sandwich GRP plates from Paneeltec GmBH. My wife couldn't find time to come a long for the trip, so I went alone. The guys at Paneeltec were very helpful and...

Congratulations! I'm impressed about your building speed! Looking good as always! I'm still stuggeling with my supportframe... But hope to do some catching up on you in the next months:)

In Norway you need a light truck/CDL /class C1 (for light trucks),class D1 (for light busses), driver license to be able to drive all vehicles with registered total weight above 3500kg. and less than 7500kg. If the truck or buss exceedes 7500kg in total weight you need to have heavy truck driver...

I looks like the lower part of the snorkel might be from a Unimog, at least it is very similar. The upper part though, is unknown to me.

It's looking good Jostein, I'm impressed!:) Will you install parquet floor or similar on top of the sandwich floor when finished?

...Also we finaly pulled the plug and ordered the GRP-sandwich plates. After a lot of searching around and getting offers from around 10 different suppliers from all around Europe, we decided to have the German company Paneeltec GmBH make them for us according to my drawings! We got a very good...

Progress hasn't been the best the last months due to a tight working schedule at my work. But there have luckily been some time in between to do propper work. Last week we fabricatet the main parts of the supportframe. We are still missing the machined brackets for the three-pointed fixing to...

Most of them uses handles/latches from KCT, quite pricy but good quality: http://www.kctechnik.de/index.html They can also be bought from: http://www.frm-technik.com/online-shop/beschl%C3%A4ge-und-schlie%C3%9Ftechnik/kct-schlie%C3%9Ftechnik/#cc-m-product-8814431471
