Why do Lelox off-set chassis pipes use a hardened steel washer?
Off-set chassis pipes are designed to be mounted from an existing bolt hole on the truck chassis/frame. The off-set allows the pipe to achieve a full 360 degree rotation to be able to reach the mounting brackets bolted to the mudguards so that mudguards can be positioned on the truck wheels to achieve the best support, comply with regulations and look great at the same time. The dimpled hardened washer supplied by Lelox is designed to sit between the chassis pipe cast aluminium base and the frame. This washer securely bites into the chassis pipe base as well as the truck frame for a more secure connection. A second hardened washer is cast into the inside of the off-set chassis pipe to provide a secure seat for the bolt used to mount the pipe onto the truck/trailer.
