A run of bad luck

The place to socialise, and relax, if it doesn't fit into anything below it fits here, so tell us that joke, or share that story of your last off-road escapade, but remember new comers the virtual drinks are on you!

Yeah, should sort the problem.

Just run spacers on the front to match the width.

His kit doesn't have oil seals either.

I've been running it without adding a seal for around 18months now, still on the same bearings that were fitted when I bought the axles off Tim pink, seams like a bit of gear oil actually helps them last.

Are you using the Rob Storr full float rear set up Scottie?

I've just PM'd Mike H and he is, so it looks like that might be the way to go.

Yes I've been running it for 18months or so now, possibly longer?

Just had a look through your build thread, and found it.
P53, so I can find it again, and it was 5th July 13 when you put pics up.

I think a call to Mr S in needed. ;)
