Gromit Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 sorry for my off topic reply, I do this trick to most of my pictures, see some examples of my cars: How do you do that? I assume it's some sort of post processing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbie Posted September 12, 2007 Share Posted September 12, 2007 How do you do that? I assume it's some sort of post processing? Yes, I duplicate the layer first. Then select the background and copy that to another layer, then I blur that layer a little. (In photoshop by the way...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G_Cam Posted September 13, 2007 Share Posted September 13, 2007 ..or if you decide to go down the Wolf Wheel alternative, I have a set of 5 silver wolfs, still in boxes, in good condition in my shed. No idea what they are worth, but suggest £100 for the lot plus postage. I am in Northumberland (so not too far from Fife). PM Sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunc Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 axle serial number will be on the (vehicle's right) longer tube on the upper rear curve Ralph, i'm sorry but i still can't find it! The diff has HRC112 on it, but i'm darned if i can find the serial number of the axle. As i desperately need to figure out exactly which 'version' they are because the seals are leaking more oil than the Exxon Valdiz and next week i start doing 34 mile commutes! Any other way i can figure which of the millions of seals Paddock stock are the right ones? I want get one of everything and just change them all. The bearing needs tightening up too as there's loads of play so it will all get done at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Dunc, The teeping may not be very ledgible if the axles are rusty or have been painted over, the only way i found mine on my 90 was once they had been shot blasted. I know where you are coming from as I couldn't find the number on my Disco front axle when I needed parts for the axle. Have you actualy phoned Paddock directly? That was what I had to resort to with Disco and they gave me the correct parts without any confusion. Give them a call as they do have knowledgable staff behind the scenes, lets face it you can't be the first person to have this problem. Let us know how you get on.

Regards Grant Yeah, going to bell them in the morning. I normally speak to Carol at Paddocks, she's super-amazing helpful and i even sent her a box of chocolates years ago for getting me out of a spot.

Dunc Posted September 25, 2007 Author Share Posted September 25, 2007 or you buy some wheel spacers to solve the problem.I've had mine for ages, and they haven't caused any problems with wheelbearings....(lots of people warned me for this) What size spacers did you use? Were the studs long enough? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stobbie Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 I've used 30mm spacers from paddocks, everything fits, studs are long enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
