Moving a bare shell (castor wheel designs)

[bashbymk2]

I have a bare shell coming at the end of the month and need to move it around.

 

I have ordered some heavy duty castors just wondering how anyone has dealt with this if they have any ideas measurements etc

 

Cheers

a bare shell doesnt weigh much at all (2 people can lift it~) so a simple square frame 4 ft by 4 ft with a caster on each corner maybee with some pipe insulation or similar attached to the top to protect the underside of the car should do the job

On my Cortina shell I bolted a long piece of sturdy box section the same width as the front wheels to the cross-member (an old one) then bolted some casters to the box-section. That way I can still get the car on the trailer for transporting to the spray shop.

i just used 2 skate boards under the rear chassis rails of my capri, then lift the front and wheel it about.. didnt get the street cred i was hoping for however.

just made mine out of some 50mm box section and some big caster wheels off of one of those really big wheelie bins. its perfect and the bigger wheels make it easy to move over bumpy ground or on to a trailer like i have to. i got my wheels of a guy who works on the bins who said thay have loads of old broken bins in the yard so got him a few beers and he got me 4 brakes
