Rotorua swapmeet

Anyone going for a look on Sunday ?

[HighLUX]

Wish I was but sadly no

Should be maximum Barry with last years being canceled 

[bathcollector]

Wasn't bad, bit cold as usual. Plenty of shit to ponder, sold some stuff, bought a couple of things and talked to people you only see at swapmeets. Did see @Geophy and ? My son was hoping to find some 13 x 7 hotwires to put on his newly acquired 1983 C20 van but no luck. On @UTERUS recommendation here we tried Paulys on the way up, pretty good burgers, the chili chips were a bit savage, but manned them back like a girl with eyes and noses running.

I was the ? haha. I clicked afterwards who you were (while I was waiting in line for a hot dog) so apologies for not saying hi, I just figured it was some random that knew geophy.

I thought you were Beaver but wasn't 100% sure tbh. Next time though, Palmy ?

It's the beards, makes recognition tricky.

I don't have a vernier but a quick measure looks like they are 115x4.

I can try to borrow an accurate measuring tool on the weekend if you like

Sounds pretty much like they will be the right pcd. I think 108 is the other close pcd.

[kyteler]

They came in 4x110 as well but if a rough measure gets you 115 I would be very confident that they're 114.3

More pics on the weekend

They should look good on the young fellas van. Just need to figure out the front end for some low.

I think @Brock-Leeand @Beaver might have the skinny on such a device. 

[bathcollector]

Yeah, was talking to Beaver at swapmeet about the lowering. Didn't catch up with Seedy though to get his take on keeping the spring captured. Couple of bags of cement maybe ? The rear is easy.

Mebbe helpful

Ah, wondered as to the Brock-lee connection. Yes, that sheds a bit more light. They are a tricky little setup with fuck all room for movement and travel will be pretty slim either with reset leaves or cut blocks etc. Don't want to balls it up as it is a very tidy little van. Thanks for this Michael.
