My Vice!!!

[Qvatrees]

Any bright ideas on mounting a vice on a truck for ease of sharpening saws, and basic on site repairs?? I did have on mounted on the front bumper of my old series 3 Landy years ago but it looked dangerous and I wouldn't be happy to do it again. Needs to be accessible and mounted securely but not dangerous for pedestrians/ passers by

 

Thanks in advance

What truck is it? Somebody on here had a 130 tipper, there was a bracket that slid out from behind the cab, swivelled round 90 degrees and locked into position which looked very nifty.

Land Rover 110 and also like one on the transit eventually.

I have mine behind the cab two bits of box one inside the other slides in and out locks of with a bolt with a bit of bar welded to it will see if I've got any photos

I have a receiver hitch bolted under my winch on my defender, I plan on making up a long tube that fits into this with a vice bolted on the end of it. I will probably put a couple of bends in the tube so that it sits at a nice height, not by my knees. Probably oonly any use if you have a winch though.

Just an idea but could you mount the vice on a strong magnet with a kind of swivelling bracket so you could just plonk it on the bonnet and take it off when you had finished? You could put a piece of colth between the magnet and vehicle to save scratching the paintwork. I have a worklight which is like this and it works very well

I think that one of our service vans has a piece of box section which slides out of the van with a vice on it. Not for right heavy use etc but that kind of thing could be mounted underneath a tipper body easily enough and be useful enough to sharpen a saw or hold things for smaller works.

Can you not just keep one of these behind the seat?
