Well I've received my ajustable Droplinks ...I've had to buy 250-290 because my ARB front damper mount points are 40mm lower than stnd as my dampers have long Eibach ERS springs with helper springs ...250mm should be spot on & let me ajust them 100% for correct position...Bought them off http://www.amspeedracing.co.uk/product-detail?cid=&pid=2174 Best quality rod ends I've seen .....same as Satchel use on my shift  Day666 has attached the following image: |

definitely take it elsewhere, he doesn't understand modified cars clearly!I would recommend one of our local ones but they're a fair trek from Bristol just for an MOT! ________________________________________ need a part number? get on here - http://public.servicebox.peugeot.comBring on the Trumpets. |

Pah, MOT  I do have scrutineers though who can be equally annoying. One nearly refused me a pass because I didn't have yellow tape on my negative battery lead. Not sure I've ever heard of that regulation!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Strange then that I'd done 7 or 8 races before someone complained I once had the T handle of my battery kill cord come off after I did the test and managed to get the scrutineer not to know!________________________________________ Rallye Race Car |

Small update for today ..Got cast alloy Base off Baz T who Mei knows he used to be on here & is a good friend of Miles ....it's to fit my cast alloy top mount Miles had spare Needed a little few bits removing & smoothing & has gone off to be Nickle played the same as the top mount bit has I'm sure Mei will know these are 1.8kgs inc top 1.9kg & you have to use a extra Cast Iron Alternator plate off a 205 Diesal ...& a rose jointed bar to tension the alternator belt .. These 3 items weigh just under 2.00kgs together ..... The cast Iron top mount & base which has Alternator bracket in one piece weighs in at 8.5kgs ...THATS 6.5kgs lighter WOW Plus it's neater & looks amazing ...bonus That's a lot of weight off just with my Bonnet & engine Mount Day666 has attached the following image: |

As Welshpug rightly said ....find another Tester mines turned into a twat ..that really doesn't want any climbing in over door bars .... I've got 4 coming tomorrow as they are cheap enough & it's one less thing for me to worry about on my Mot I'm always on the track at Combe ...bought like 14 sessions one year I was giving most of the high powered cars a run for there money ....I think they like the Under dog with the standard engine PS I could only do all of this because of my New Girlfriend of 3years who's bought into my house & bought 1/2 in ...paid all my debt off & no credit cards She's put £4K into it also |
