We also have a 10 tonne C-Clamp for hot riveting on vintage car and commercial chassis.

Testimonial published in Heritage Commercials and Classic & Vintage Commercials.

I have absolutely no connection with this firm, but I thought readers might be interested to know that Chassis Alignment of Wisbech Cambridgeshire, now offers a chassis restoration service for restorers of classic lorries.

It was established in 1951 and specialises in the straightening of all types of heavy commercial vehicle chassis, using flameless, electric induction instant heating methods, but has recently invested in the equipment to rivet together the older frames as fitted to Dodge, Ford, Volvo etc.

Rust in the chassis joints is always a problem to restorers of these frames, but the company can take a riveted chassis, dismantle it, blast clean and etch prime it, reassemble it with new rivets, alignment check it and return it to the customer ready to build up.

The contacts there are Dave or Tim and they can be contacted on 01945 461122, 07850 963072 or via the website www.chassisalignment.co.uk. I hope it is of interest - when I wanted one doing sometime ago nobody could do it!
