sipher172 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 Have you thought about cheating and using the floor pan from the Siku MF 8280, I think I have seen it up for sale on the tint'a'click for about ?3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 if your using the britains floorpan and cab,you dont need to file the chassis at all mate,just trim a small part of the floorpan,arround the seat hole back to the cab lug hole and it will fit fine,you just need to stick a small section of plasti strut acroos the underside at the rear to stop it wobling backwards,i have done 2 now no probs,the 6290 bonnet will also fit straght on,using the stud from the deutz bonnet to hold it, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schw84 Posted April 19, 2006 Author Share Posted April 19, 2006 i prefer the mf 5455 bonnet looks more realistic, only problem with using the floor from the 6290 is the 6480 has curved mudgaurds!! not angular ones.(so what i hear you say ) thats what my dad says, but it dont look rigth when you take it out side and sit it nxt to the real thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tractorman810 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 mmm,true,your best to chop/file the floorpan as aposed to the chassis,far easier to do,and not such hard material,plus they are easier to get hold of that the ttv chassis , Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan-jaapbol Posted April 21, 2006 Share Posted April 21, 2006 I have seen some mf conversions of our french model building fellows and they all use the entire cab and floorpan of the 5455 of siku. Some of them fit the 6290 bonnet in a revised version on it, others use a revised version of the siku bonnet. They based it on the UH TTV model. I myself am trying to fit it on a britains NH TSa chassis. I hope this info is of any use to you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

schw84 Posted April 23, 2006 Author Share Posted April 23, 2006 I really want the one they have built on that web site!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jan-jaapbol Posted May 1, 2006 Share Posted May 1, 2006 I think that to build a 6480 you should use the 6290 bonnet! The siku 5455 is a 4 cilinder machine while the 6480 is a 6 cilinder. So the bonnets are not the same size. The model in itsself looks good but should be a 6460 for example which also is a 4 cilinder. greetz Jan-Jaap Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
