filthy one Posted August 12, 2008 Author Share Posted August 12, 2008 threw my hubs in the lathe at 530 thismorning changed the stud pattern just got the drums to redrill now then fit em up SWEET Also hit a big speed hump today to looks like the rota will only fit with massive mods carried out as its sitting way to low. When the bags are ridin on stops the sump will stove into the ground hard & because of the way the gearbox mounts {with the halfshafts etc} it can be moved either might look at another option turbod 1200 ute engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filthy one Posted November 27, 2008 Author Share Posted November 27, 2008 spent a couple of hours today working out how to mount front shocks . Man what a shit of a job trying to make it so there was enough shock travel when the bag inflated & they did'nt bottom out when they deflated & then working in the fact the angle of the shock changed as the chassis went up & down .. Got there in the end tho just gota get my mate to cut the brackets out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
