    Tyres hitting wheel arches

    I run 195 60 14 on standard rims. i run a narrowed, lowered beam too although on that size tyre with your set up you shouldn't have any clearance issues. Speedo runs arond 15mph fast but you soon get used to that and deduct accordingly :D

    Help/Advice fitting a Rusty Lee 3/4 bed please.

    I clamped mine in the open position with a straight edge sticking out the back onto the rear section above the engine. This gives you the correct height and its just a case of marking where you need to fix. It can be a bit of a fiddly job on your own....i remember taking the skin off my knuckles...

    Rear bump stops

    I have the same as you Mike without the cut down rubber, i'm guessing the peg must have corroded off then! :shock: I'll try to get something tacked on to it over winter but if its not an issue M-O-T wise then i'll leave it for now. More worried about the slight 'knock' in the steering box to be...
