  15. Thats really good of you thanks, once i buy my tipping body ill drop you a line that would be really hepfull! I did consider pro-tipper (i contacted you through ebay pete) but like i said my buck is shabby and is a little out of my price range. I can get a cabstar tipper body with ram, pump and wireing for £500 so with a bit of steel, welding and time I should be able to do it for sub £750 ish thanks for the replys everybody thats really encouraging and the ute looks like just what im trying to achieve so once i get started Ill post some pics cheers joe
  16. Hi, I have a 2005 L200 single cab pickup which I would like to convert into a tipper. My plan is to buy a drop side tipping body, pump, ram, light board etc from a Nissan cabstar remove the current original buck (which is dented to h3ll anyway!) make up some L brackets to fix the tipper subframe to weld them to the chassis bolt on the body mount the pump and electrics and bobs your uncle L200 tipper! My brother is a welder so will make up the brackets and im pretty spanner handy was just wondering if anyone has tried this before? Problems encountered and anything you would do differently? I’ve tried searching the net and few people have made them from scratch but not found one person recycle a tipping body / tipmaster type thing! Of course photos will follow…

Just to add a bit of positive outcome to the 261 issue I bought one brand new a year ago started playing up symptoms were - cord not recoiling properly causing damage to the cord - bad bearing / squealing noise - chain getting tight / hot for no reason. I took it back to george carr in bristol who were excellent dropped it off monday they accepted/diagnosed the issue spoke to stihl and repaired under warranty including new sprocket (changed the crap rim one to spur type), new bearings, new cord and 'e-clip' cheers george carr! the saw really is a great saw and hope now it be even better cheers joe
