kvansic162 Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 Sometimes owning a s130 can suck because there is less aftermarket items made . Bulldog doesn't make frame rails to fit. Where can I find u channel or tube to make my own frame or over lay the existing one for my ZX. Kirk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goober Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 you can go to any local fab shop or metal supplier to get what you need. I just picked up my 1x3 and 2 1/2x 2 1/2 from a local metal supplier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeatrpi Posted March 29, 2009 Share Posted March 29, 2009 I did a three piece approach - two sides and a bottom. The sides were long and thin, and I punched holes to weld through to the existing rails that I didn't have to cut. The bottom I put two edges on like a shoe box lid so I had to hammer it on tight.

kvansic162 Posted March 30, 2009 Author Share Posted March 30, 2009 I went to a metal shop and an hour later I had 2, 30 inch long frame rails with 1 inch edges to tac weld to the floor boards. Only cost me 70.00. Perfect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attworth Posted April 9, 2009 Share Posted April 9, 2009 Zedd findings sells both the floors and rails. Unfortunately I've talked to Dan, and he only stamps the S130 parts if he has two orders ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
