love your work stu! but i think you need a longer/bigger table top

i think you're right mate, this is the second one ive made and im still not happy with it, something not quite right with it.

Chris, so far its been that the newer tracking gear needs to fit on the rear wheels too which they cant do so i need somewhere with the older stuff
 
yeah im going to see if i can blag Tims ramp for a few hours at some point and notch the back slightly, doesn't need to be much. Hopefully see you Sunday mate.

hello mate - sorry couldn't have a decent chat but everytime i went to go and speak to you
, you had a large crowd round you talking bus :D

anyway the van looked smart in the display area

also have a quick question - are you running spax shocks, if so whats the ride like, i'm having a little trouble with tyre rub when the van is fully loaded (and the wife in the front ;) :D ) and think these babies will help out

what you reckon??

i know mate i got my cloth out to polish but never got a chance, catching up with old mates and answering random questions from people :lol:

Ive got stock shocks at the front and Spax adjustables at the back.

If you're rubbing when fully loaded, adjustables would be ideal for your van, definately worth considering.
 
Today i used the van as it was intended for the first time since changing the interior around. Cracking day :mrgreen:

Found a sweet spot with no other bugger about, class!
