Re: Been a bit of an idiot.

They should work fine with drums, mine did well until my bearing, shaft and collar split... Split bearing retainer still in place though.

Re: High steer kit from 'you know who'

I'm missing locking nuts for the tie-rod ends from my kit, luckily mines sat waiting for me to finish the axles!

Re: have I bought the correct brake cylinders

Do you have the original cylinders? Would be worth measuring the distance between the cylinder.

Re: XUD conversion Member cross with a cross member

Again we fabricated custom mounts, although the engine I sourced didn't come with a cross member another thing to bare in mind is the height of the engine as it will be close to the sump if you are still spring under axle.

Re: Tbox replacement

Simple enough to remove, don't forget to undo the gaiter inside the cab or it won't drop down, undo the 3 bolts that attach the arms to the chassis and you can drop and twist it out then bench press it back in

You don't need a huge amount of clearance, best to flex the suspension to check, lowering the bump stops or moving the axle 25mm forwards o...

Samurai Axle Trussing/Bracing & SPOA Perches

So I've got one fully stripped front samurai axle (was leaking left right and centre) that I need to install SPOA perches onto. My first question is Perches, I needed to move my perches in 40mm (I have a 410) what's the best way to ensure I have the correct castor? Second question is Trusses/Knuckle...
