Nomad C4 chassis assembly

[chevynut]

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.

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.

Lot of cool mods on that 56 Nomad! Looks like you're on your way to a nice show piece!!!

They screw over the male fitting on the rack. I could never find a hose fitting of any kind that had material such that I could re-machine. Here's pics of them, I can powder coat them if you want as long as I have the color you'd like, let me know and PM me your address and I'll send a couple your way.

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.
