Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 well following goodheads lorry convo,heres mine i started at the weekend,got a bit of the way in,but am having huge problems getting the chassi to bond/glue,so far i have used superglue,superglue and bracing,and 2 part exopy super super glue,and it still won't bond properly,so am going to use small self tappers to join with bracing unless someone out there has any other ideas, as i am stuck on it now,can't move any further until i know the chassis is stable,plus all the screws will be covered by the sheilding pannels,the body is going to be a bulk blower for feeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted February 15, 2006 Share Posted February 15, 2006 Have you tried plastic weld TM?? Plastruc will weld to it using plastic weld, or it has on the 20 or so 40' trailers I've built, try clamping the plastruc to it with some pegs over night.

Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 next two,body will be a smooth type as its easier to build,all though may change my mind a bit nearer to the final build Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 15, 2006 Author Share Posted February 15, 2006 not yet mate,might try that along with the srews.the britains chassis plastic is a really soft type,so not 100% sure if plasti weld will work on it,but worth a try i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 16, 2006 Share Posted February 16, 2006 I'm at our swage works behind CWF this week on nights Sean. They may be a bit distant but I'll see if I can get a few pics of their 8wheelers. If the security guard is there he may let me have a wander around. Will be dark too so all in all not the best set up for taking photo's but it maybe worth a try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 Going to be round CWF tonight but judging by your pic's and ideas it sound slike you've got it in the bag mate. Will you go to the detail of having compartments in it with swinging doors and the little sight windows in each section? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted February 17, 2006 Author Share Posted February 17, 2006 not sure yet deerest,not sure if i really need to go that far,as there will be a rollover cover on it,so? still not happy with the body at mo,think i need to get some thicker plastic card as this one seems to be bendind with the glue ect, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJB1 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Looking smart Sean, is it going to be labeled BOCM Pauls? 'BOCM' don't have trucks that smart mate , just standard chassis & cab for them , but 'Countrywide' do get their drivers some good kit this truck doesn't belong to an owner driver , the countrywide transport manager recognises the impact of the trucks image that represents the company & buys the best for his drivers , this goes for farm delivery wagons as well, often seeing a VOLVO FM with a globetrotter cab & all the whistles & bells that drivers want with a smart truck it's something you won't find in BOCM fleet colours Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 She is pearlrscent aswell lads, it is the dangleys. Two Globetrotter XL's and two Toplines make the fancey fleet up among a host of other artics with bulkers, tautliners and rigids and wagon and drag outfits. Shame most of them are on their way out soon :'( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
