Nice i do think the twin wheels suits the hi-cube!!!

Is that why you are changing the side panel - cos of the window!!!

[madmark]

they look the bizz!

[100ps_drw_hicube]

luke i agree entirely the twin wheels make it look loads better thats sort of why we got them the other reason we got them is they handle a whole load better and 9 times out of 10 the twin wheelers have the turbo lump in them so go a lot better the reason i am replacing the side panel is 1 i want a van not half van half bus the other reason is the moron who fitted it out for the police cut the window hole to big so 9 nine years later the window is about to fall out the whole panel is rotten took me over a year to get a panel to replace it but eventually got one from madvanman so should be looking loads better soon

[Luke]

i take it its different to the standard van panel then?

[transitgeoff]

same panel,and the rear panel is the same as a 1986-1991 twinwheel

[john leeman]

They do look smart, are they 3.5 tonnes gross, none of that silly tacho business. how much do they weigh. They certainly look much better with twin wheels at the rear, what size tyres do you fit to them. they should corner like no other transit van. by the way sod the neighbours I have 2 transit vans & a large luton outside my house, but realy good neighbours now.

Nice
unusuall to see twin wheels on a highcube and even rarer too see a side door on a highcube
(i live 1/2 mile from a securecor depot )

[transitgeoff]

from my experience mainly owned by customs as road fuel testing units

[100ps_drw_hicube]

our hicubes are now 3.5t the blue one was 3.5t anyway but the white one was uprated by the police from new so although it is a 190 it was uprated to 230 spec as it mgw was 3995kg but no tacho the blue one was owned by a bottled water company the sort that refill the machines in most offices and has had uprated suspension from new it used to have 6 leaf springs at the back but we changed them to 5 as it was mental the side doors on these have been modified so they kick out past the arches! they run on ordinary twin wheel rims 185 r15 8 ply speed rating is r so this limits us to the more expensive tyres

[Gunslinger]

nice

which panel is it you are talking of repairing in your other thread ?

also i am wondering if those rear arches could be made to fit a mk2 feel free to take one of and send it over to me to try
