Hi guys, I've dropped a cylinder head and need a couple of replacement fins to weld on. Does anyone have a cheap one that can be posted? Regards, Si.

Well peeps I got the tyres ordered, fronts 165 65 14 Continental and 185 14 Nexen CT8 for the rear. Now the tyre shop is struggling to find a valve to fit! Any recommendations for Fuchs?? Regards, Si.

Yep, the pop top canvas is on the next list 😁.

🤣🤣🤣

Thanks Clem.

Lol, thanks guys for the recommendations. I'll definitely try swopping the front and rear tyres about to see if there's any issues with space. Regards, Si.

Hi J&P, thanks for the reply. The issue is the size of tyre as I already have the rim. I wasn't sure if something between the two or probably a repeat of the front as the commercial rears should be less prone to get punctured? Regards, Si.

Hi Guys, hope everyone is well and keeping safe. The time has come for me to get some tyres on my van and I have a dilemma about the spare. I'm going for 185r14 on the rear and 165/60/14 on the front, but what do I do about number 5?? Wheels are 5.5" all around. Any ideas and suggestions...

Hi , The seal from Creative Engineering arrived this morning. I did a dry run without any sprays and pushed it almost all the way in. I think a sprinkle of talcum powder will help, so initial indications are good. My only thing to point out is that the catch area will need a little extra in the...

Phoned them this morning, they were very helpful and pleasant to deal with, but unfortunately weren't sure if the seal would fit. I've ordered one and I'll let you know how it goes. Regards, Si.

Hi, Haven't bought the seals yet, I need to phone them because I only need one and not the pair they have advertised. Also the quarterlights I bought years ago and am only fitting now - the left one is all good but it looks like the right one had been broken into as the frame around the glass...

Hi Aircool76, I'm in the process of doing mine, watch the Creative-Engineering video on YouTube first, I know it's based on a split but still good to see. Regards, Si

Ok guys, quick Sunday morning update. I've ordered a pair of outers via eBay, went for T25 syncro as the part number is the same. Seller had 5% discount for a pair and eBay had a 15% discount code. Came in at £36 for the pair of febi bilstein with 3year guarantee, compared to£120 for the skf...

Hi everyone, strangely it had a standard roller bearing on one side and a taper on the other 🙄. I think I'll have to bite the bullet and buy another set of standard outers, more money down the drain. Does anyone have any recommendations for make, as all the ones online look fairly rubbish...

Hi Ozziedog thanks for the reply. I know how to do the usual roller bearing style but I've ended up with taper rollers for the outside, which can't be torqued. I was assuming it would be like the old LT35 where they are tightened just enough to remove any play? Also not sure whether the spacers...
