Hi, can anyone recommend an engine builder in Cumbria or North of England?

Got a 1303s box hooked up to my 1776, and yep the higher cruising speed is worth it :)

Smallest commercial-rated tyres I could find were 185/60 R15C Continental VancoContact (load rated at 92/94)

The centre caps will fit - you just have to trim down the retaining clips so they fit around the castellated nut...

WHS ^^^ I'm running 10" spacers with 195/75 tyres. It's a snug fit :msn4:

Here's my current setup Front: 185/60 R15C Continental VancoContact (load rated at 92/94) Transporterhaus 3.5" dropped spindles GAZ coilovers - (160/105/B12) with 140lb springs (RD1.9/140/10) - springs set at 9cm between bottom of adjuster ring and bottom weld mark with 10 clicks on the...

I put a washer under both of the mounting bolts to raise it slightly. Did the trick for me :)

Got mine here: http://www.alanhschofield.com/ourparts/prod_2850482-Steering-peg-211415223B.html

Might be more useful if I gave some details eh? I used to have about 4" of play in the wheel, after replacing the peg this is down to about 1.5"

Yes, and yes it make a BIG difference 8)

Just about to do this - any tips fellas?

So what happens if you don't have that rubber thing on?? Like I don't :(

Thanks dude that sounds just the job - I'll be ordering a pair in due course :D

So if I fit these dropped spindles with a stock width beam and lower profile tyres I should be able to avoid tyre rub? Sorry to be pedantic but I can't afford spindles and a new beam in one go!

Could i get away with just fitting (drum) dropped spindles on a stock beam? (Running standard steel wheels)

Somebody mention saab 9000 seats? I'm 6' and they're great. I do have to stick my head out the window sometimes to see the traffic lights tho :lol:

This is good to know Ash, I do have a set of 15" wide5s on my bug so I might have to swap things round a bit

Thinking of changing the spindles for the French slammer ones (disc version) so I can lower the bus at the same time Want to keep the wide5s so want to get some of Buttys wheel adapters. Anyone else gone down this route? Any tips?

Evening chaps, can anyone tell me if I can fit post '73 disc brakes up front and still run 14" steelies? Or will I need to go for 15" ones? cheers
