Tidy, because I haven't driven mine properly I don't know if it's worth doing while I'm rebuilding it all. Would be good if you could let me know. Cheers

Um, I haven't looked to be honest. I'll look on Friday. You need to find those pics.

Ahh same size as me then, well probably not this weekend, but next weekend, i will have all my EPAS setup and working so can let you know what it is like

wasn't bad before, only when steering stopped on the brakes made it hard to turn.

Hopefully it will, especially as I now have this on my desk

Image

it is quite chunky, worried it may have too much offset, but we will see

also added the final peice to the exhaust, some bling

Image

quite amazed that came out at all, was very dark,

will need a bit of fiddeling as that is only rested over the old pipe, but even so adds a distinctive touch

Make sure you let us know how the steering goes

the weather is such a pain isn't it, i have used a pop up gazeebo before now on the drive

first problem is going to be the mounting of the pump, and the fact that the eeejot that took the pump out cut the wire with only about 1cm left

and i have to get a 70 amp relay too, that is how much they pull aparently
