    Best quality ball joints?

    I've spoken to a few suppliers it seems the Febi ones are the ones to go for. I'll give them a go and see how I get on. Now the next question is, will a 10t press do the job?

    Porsche Wheels + Early bay + Adapters = Fun and games..

    on the front you could fit a spacer to the wheel itself, but this may cause you other issues. as for rear, you will probably need to convert it to narrow 5 or Porsche fitment.

    Zig unit issues!

    I have a zig CF6 fitted in my van that I'm not sure is working correctly. I have removed the leisure battery and thought that the items that are powered by the zig unit would stop working! However it seems that they still work. Is this normal?

    Which accelerator cable?

    I have a LHD bay with an 1600cc SP and an alternator and single carb, the carb has a spacer that's about 1" tall to allow it to clear the alternator, the issue is that when I bought an accelerator cable it was too short, I was just wondering if anyone else has had this issue and if so what cable...

    US rear indicator swap

    I am in a similar predicament, but i want to keep the reversing lights, so I have fitted UK reflectors with a separate indicator, I will be fitting green LED bulbs that flash through the red and appear amber, I can then keep the reversing lights ;) just a thought.
