    Fanshroud Flaps / Thermostat

    As said above if the thermostat fails the flaps will fail open. Funny enough I fitted flaps myself last week on my 1776 that the engine builder said don't worry about flaps you don't need them. Well I always thought my engine ran a bit hot. Fitted this flaps this weekend and went for a long...

    Lowering Gurus wanted - The Gaz shock thread

    To be honest this is the measurement with the shocks on, they are currently doing bugger all and I know I had to compress the shocks to get them on when I fitted them

    Lowering Gurus wanted - The Gaz shock thread

    Ok guys so I measured from top shock mount to bottom shock mount and I get 12", would be interested to know what you guys all measured? Also do I just give Gaz this measurement and they will work out the shock length needed?
