You got to love a white Westy

[mychatype3]

Nice photo as found on the internet

Nothing big to report at the moment, Westy is warm in the garage and getting some new rubbers this winter (doors, sliding door etc.)
Maybe going to polisch the louvres :shock: Also tested the Monroe's at the back (ma824), they give me a lift of 5cm 8) so will place some this winter with another 4valves including air tank (not present at the moment). So she will lift around 5cm all around 8) with the flick of a button, nice for heavy holiday touring. Also ordered a set of Gabriel Hijackers with the same proportions as the Monroe's to test :msn4: why?: they have a sleeve all around the airbag an go to 200psi (instead of the monroe's 150psi).

High is the new low :lol: :lol: :lol:

Testing the Gabriels at the front 7,5cm lift max :shock:
(min 53,5cm/20psi max. 61cm/200psi) My driving hight is on 120psi = 57cm (ground to arch)

200psi not for driving just for bad camping roads....

Nice he the Gabriels are bigger and have a sleeve around the bag (so they don't expend but go up 8) and nice and protected for the elements).

Gabriel (left) versus Monroe (right)

Doing test at the moment, when i now they are really ok and good, I will share the part numbers

Kind regards from Holland, mycha

 

[waltz19]

Thanks for that.

I am running Monroe's and they are great day to day, running back and forward to work etc but for the hols when you are all loaded up they sometimes rub.
This could be a wee job for me before EBI next year.

Thanks again Alan

Three years ago when i installed the airshocks i place my compressor behind the passenger seat, with the Recaro-Seats it was a tight fit!!!

So i placed it out of sight under the seat 8)

To this:
