Brennan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 Would be very easy and cheap to make one of the offset bolt and washer set ups. I can't see why it cost that austailian $200 to do it. More like $20. Rose joint wouldn't work as you are trying to move it vertically. Pretty sure foxton wrecker still has sub frames. Would not be fun trying to get them out tho.

Brennan Posted June 12, 2013 Share Posted June 12, 2013 And sweet. You finally got the driveshaft done! Who did you use and how much? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would not be fun trying to get them out tho. well if we make it just sell for $200 hahahaha nahhhh. i recon the hi tensile bolts will be the biggest killer they might be abit. i was just thinking about the bolts cert wise the bmw ones look like a standerd item haha. i might ring up marty(the cert guy) and have a talk to him about cutting it and and see he thinks about cutting it up. yeah thats what i was hoping.... thats what a saber saw is for isn't it??
