If those are landy wheels (and they look like it) then it will be dangerous to fit them without redrilling...

Changed the ball joint today all the banging and clunking was getting right on my nerves lol`
And even better got round to fitting the power steering rack. WOW :o what a difference, i took me 2 days to do, 1 to strip the rack off my minibus and one to strip the rack off mine and fit the power rack.

With the power steering and the fuel pump mod i done a few weeks ago its like having a new van, :D
