  1. At the moment I'm running 1" lower than standard springs, I may put the original + 2" back in at some point, this will push the bump stop back up, not sure as yet, need to see what it's like offroad, I guess it's still a work in progress Regards Stephen
  2. Good question, probably not, have had good flex in the past but not like this, it won't do too many road miles so not overly worried about body roll although I'm hoping that will have been reduced with a totally non steel body Regards Stephen
  3. Wheel base is 97" , Did not extend chassis, just re-designed rear chassis and moved spring hangers back to suit, hope that helps Regards Stephen
  4. They shouldn't........ The tyres would hit angled section of aluminium first, but it they do I will hack them off and start again....... Regards Stephen
  5. I'm annoyed with myself, far too premature cutting mudguards, have altered the other one and it looks OK, at least I only have one side to do... Some quick angle iron in the gabro Fitting regards Stephen
  6. That would certainly make it look different Regards Stephen Edit, only problem being there is not a lot of room on full flex...
  7. Never thought of that, thank you, could certainly look at something for road use Regards Stephen
  8. So results of some initial flexing Tyre at lowest point is 39" off the ground Now the bad Mud flap is in the way and could possibly get ripped off so I've had to trim things a wee bit Some assistance required Does not look as nice, may have to do rear mudguards again but extend the to the outside of the back body Here thoughts if any please regards Stephen
  9. Cooling system finished off, well I hope so it's warming up at the moment and no signs of leaks as yet First an easy bracket to support header tank Then I cheated and went the route of LGT and forgo the delights of a heater, for now I hasten to add An oversight with intercooler pipework, needed to remove flexi pipe to get radiator plug out..duh I'll let it run for a wee while and hopefully it will be OK Regards Stephen
  10. Redneck repair issue...lol History first... Around 25 yrs ago my lightweight was in a friend's garage overnight whilst I was doing some repairs. Early evening I got a call from guys I knew in the fire brigade to tell me the garage was on fire, but my lightweight was relatively ok ( they had recognised my lightweight and had the decency to pull it out before it got too damaged ) Damage consisted of blistered paint, damaged beyond use tyres, bonnet was up so had hoses to renew and a partially melted brake master cylinder reservoir, so reservoir was still holding fluid and brakes were fine so it has stayed in service until present day. The other week I tried to bleed brakes with a gunisons easybleed and ended up squirting some brake fluid out of the top of the reservoir, queue redneck repair using some of this reservoir 30 mins after repair i successfully bled the brakes using the easybleed I love the plastic padding stuff, always does what I need it to do Regards Stephen Ps. I will get around to changing it at some point.......
  11. Pan hard rod bracketry now sorted As was for temp testing A piece of 3" x 2" box a small piece shaved off to allow access to lube nipple previously made brackets cut off and cleaned up Tacked on gusseted and painted Complete Regards Stephen

  15. Probably been on the home stretch for the last 6 months due to the amount of work I've had to do...lol Regards Stephen
  16. Rear winch now sorted Remote set up and heavy duty solenoid fitted Temporarily rigged up to make sure it all works finished off regards Stephen
  17. Apologies I wasn't clear enough, the remote set up I bought also replaces the existing solenoids with a single heavy duty unit Regards Stephen
  18. That's very decent of you. I will keep it in mind, remote set up came today so will rig that up and hopefully be ok thank you regards Stephen
