A lot of people use the Mcdonald bros ones or squared off style ones me and a mate that has a EJ have measured up BA falcon and they have a nice looking radius so we are going to cut a set out from the wreckers and try and incorporate that into it. I have some pics on the work computer with a few squared off sets. Also search KINGY on this forum he did his FC Title: Re: Tubbing rearend Post by: JB on December 16, 2011, 05:41:17 PM I used the original tubs and put a spacer in them to get 10" underneath. The photos are in 365days...
When Ed did his Datto ute he used trailer guards that had a very nice radius and then extended them to suit if you don't like the square edges. Good luck JB Title: Re: Tubbing rearend Post by: fe350chev on December 16, 2011, 06:40:23 PM I want this too. Makes sense to do it now while in chopping mode .

I used trailer guards with a radiuses edge and then just swaged some lines in the face panel. It is a Datsun but in principle the same process.
