One of the things I've been working on is the bodywork brackets. The outriggers will stick out of the car around 4 inches or so, but I wanted to have them removable as well as load bearing.
I came up with this set up;
It consists of an outer sleeve that will be welded to the chassis, and an inner sleeve that will be welded to the rail. The left hand one is tack welded to the rail. When on the car, the rail will slot into the sleeve (centre), then an M8 bolt, washer and nut that will go through both (right).
The 'cup' of the outer sleeve will provide support, with the length of the inner sleeve providing leverage. The bolt is in single shear which I wanted to avoid, but it does provide the clamping force needed to keep things tight.
