I use my spare wheel as a step when I’m parked up. Mines got a 165 65 14 tyre on and that fits nicely and tightly into an Ikea bag when it’s in the van.Looking great with the big tyres and stripes.You will need a side step now !
Cheers Oz. That’s a cunning plan!I use my spare wheel as a step when I’m parked up. Mines got a 165 65 14 tyre on and that fits nicely and tightly into an Ikea bag when it’s in the van.
Ozziedog,,,,,,,,,,liking the raise too.
I’ve also got an off cut of ply that becomes part of the step or it might go under a fire etc.
Love it
Not that it means much, but I do actually like this.
They really are. I changed the one side over (from stock 185/80 x 14) and the van was visibly leaning, its 1-2 inches higher than stock. I really have to make an effort to get inLooks great, those tyres are huge
One slight front tyre/outer arch rub yesterday, but it was an uncommon manouvre so no worries.
It does, and I appreciate it. I was pretty concerned if I was wasting my time/doing the wrong thing but the feedback so far has been encouraging.
Nice bit of metalicy sheen just above the break on the shoe. The other bit sheeny too ?
I had the whole front wheel refurb thingy kit recently. The shoes were fab, the bearings were fab, the new internal cylinder to cylinder pipes were a mare, consequently I’m running the old ones. The cylinders were way too big in the castings, one had swarf in it . Had to relieve the cylinders to allow the springs to pass.I only fitted these at the start of the year as the previous ones had broken up. I found these in a box of old (used) parts and thought they might be ok. No idea how old they are … quite old I guess?
Ordered some actual brand new ones today. Sometimes you got to I guess.

And I’m not one to throw anything away, I’ve still got those old cylinders maybe the shoes in case I want to get them relined, like that’ll ever happen and one pipe because I trashed the other one but fished it out of the bin because I might suddenly learn how to bend them nicely one night in my dreams.I’m just buying shoes.
