I have to pick up the front of a bus without the beam in it. Can anyone e-mail the dimensions for the four bolt holes that the beam bolts to on the frame? I also need to know what size and length the bolts are as well.
My plan is to cut some plates and drill them to fit, then weld them to a 8ft length of pipe so we can get the front end off the ground with the jacks and back the trailer under it. Unfortunately its a 2 1/2 hour drive to get to the bus in a field, otherwise I would measure and drill the holes there.
My e-mail is [email protected]
thanks in advance to anyone who will help out Very Happy

Between the shock towers is 29 9/16 but if you want a little extra space go with 29 5/8" I can't find my drawing with the bolt locations but if your not in a hurry I think I have them at work.

I have that drawing, I missed that Shocked
Anyone know what the bolt size is ?
A pattern of the whole bolt pattern and the distance from the bottom hole to even with the frame would be a big help.
Not any splittys in the area Crying or Very sad
