Give me a day or so to organise the pic.
Also will I just redrill the rear drums and half shafts aswell?
Can a higher ratio steering box be fitted to make the steering lighter?
If so are they available?

Thanks

you've got to be carefull redrilling the rears :!: the brake drum relys on the 160pcd to work and the center hole is very large so if tha goes over the new pcd it wont work :!: to do mine to 112pcd i converted to disks :D

if you can put up with the extra width then adapters on the back is the easy way :D

post a pic of the alloys too :mrgreen:

with the front to make the steering lighter without pas it would also increase the turns lock to lock :(

Will put up a picture of both.
I dont understand what you mean about lock to lock on the front?
What brackets did you use for mounting the calipers?
As mine looks like a version of an english axle I am going to see if the off the shelf brackets might fit?

basically you turn the steering wheel more for the wheels to turn the same - try greasing the king pins and good tyres - even with the V6 it shouldnt be that heavy :)

Yer!!! Common as muck :lol: :lol: :lol:
I must admit the YB does look better, but the sound out of the back of the V6 is awsome 8) 8) 8)
