    Nomad C4 chassis assembly

    Thought I'd start a thread on the assembly of my C4 Nomad chassis. I got the first parts polished and installed last night. It feels good to put parts on for the last time.

    These are my stainless steel exhaust hangers I fabbed:




    I'm working on polishing my fuel tank and fuel lines, so they can be installed permanently too. I plan to install the brake lines, exhaust, and anything else I can install. Still trying to figure out how to coat polished suspension parts.

    It's looking very good! You mentioned coating polished parts and I've been thinking about that too. I've seen clear powder coat material advertised but never seen anything that I knew for sure had it on it. Anyone have any experience with it?

    Take a look here Bluegrass. BTW, did you ever find those rack fittings for hoses?

    I've been trying to get ahold of these guys...they're in Australia but supposedly setting up dealers/applicators in the US.

    I'll check them out Thanks! About the rack fittings ... I never found anything that would work but I have found some I can re-machine. I just received a custom ground tool I ordered that will machine the seat at the correct angle and the diameter for tapping. I have a couple of fittings with your name on them! I'll try to get them machined in the next couple of weeks and if all works out I'll give you a shout for shipping info.

    Regards Andrew

    That website is dead, and a google search fro ult1mate comes up with nothing as well. I thought of ZoopSeal, but apparently they stopped production some time ago. When googling zoopseal I found that it is now ShineSeal and they are based in California.

    Cheers, Des

    I don't know what's going on with Ult1mate. A couple of weeks ago their website worked. I had a guy respond to my questions about their product. Now nobody will say anything to me, the website looks to be down, etc., but their FB page still seems to be active. Mick used their process on his C4 parts and supposedly it's guaranteed for 10 years. Zoopseal supposedly only lasts a couple of years. I've read some negative things about Glisten too.

    Thanks a bunch Bluegrass trifive! Are you looking at an adapter or a hose end? Sounds like you're planning on an adapter that fits onto the rack's 45 degree metric threads.
