    I'm having some trouble getting more lock, hub seems to bottom out against the extension i put on the bottom arm, i will have to try something else.:mad: i cut the side out of the piping to see how much i need.

    i trimmed away the remains of the stopper bracket and the lip to leave some room for the tyre and track rod end.[​IMG]

    How much did the dieselmeken and manifold set you back? How bad is it to all plumb in?
