[QUOTE="jimbope, post: 500145, member: 14382"] Removed exhaust to weld the tail pipe stub that had worked loose. Realised I had fitted the exhaust to the engine when it was on the bench. Swore lots when removing heat exchanger to silencer clamps. Swore even more when refitting. Thought (wrongly) that the single bolt "wrap" round clamps would make life easier. They dont. Especially the RH one tucked behind the pre heat tube. Work done and a couple of layers of Heat proof paint and sounds nice again! Attention then to the front. Jack up and remove shocks. Drop down and drive round the block to settle suspension. Measures fixing centres - 16". Finally ordered some GAZ coil overs. Looking forward to getting them on having read and re read the Gaz shock thread 1000 times. :D Going to reinstate the ARB too. dont think clearance should be an issue. Never liked not having on! Also found some rust that will need sorting for september MOT. Back of the cab step where the bumper bolts on. Found this when bouncing the van to settle suspension for suspension measuring!! :lol: [/QUOTE]
