Dr Goon Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Be careful with that Hi-Lift jack Will - they bite as you may recall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Les Henson Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 The jack might bite, but as I recall - Will couldn't for a while!! Les Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR90 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Nice to see you're getting time to tinker with the 110 again Will. But what have you changed, shocks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miketomcat Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Been tinkering with the 110s suspension. the front o/s wheel is still on the ground but the brake hoses are tight so I stopped jacking. Will i've got the same problem you can't buy anything longer than 2" lift kit hoses all i could find was one offs made locally with goodridge hoses but as the tomcat has disco brakes it was going to cost £100 ish for 4 hoses the only other option was to move the mounts either end but haven't done this yet. so if you come up with a solution please let me know thanks mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOR4x4 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 Can't be 100% certain but i think it was llama who does hose's for £12ish each, if not tomcat will get them for you at a similar price, run them on mine they seem perfectly good, stainless braided with plastic coating.

LR90 Posted December 12, 2006 Share Posted December 12, 2006 LLama's one route (ask for your forum discount ) but IIRC Paul Wightman will do custom hoses and if you want to go a bit further there hae been some neat installs done that use short hoses (that don't get snagged, trapped in the spring, abraided by the tyre, or otherwise damaged) by using them at the hockey stick to chassis bracket and then copper pipe along the hockey stick.

Or just go all the way from the one bracket up the radius arm and back down the chassis to the original bracket in braid - costs less than £20 per hose I suppose and means that it remains a bolt on fit with no modifications to the car. This means that if all goes pear shaped you could put a std one back on just to get you home.. QT Services have them like this for their 3 link kit....

Exmoor Beast Posted December 13, 2006 Author Share Posted December 13, 2006 Procomp Shocks, Springs and Davids Llama drop turrets which I bought years ago but haven't got round to fitting yet. Rides nicely again now? and it even sits level when loaded with my usual heap of tools and clutter. Will Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
