wopass

ok, so here we are at the buisness end of the project. new drag link ( heavy wall pipe ) being threaded to accomadate 100 series tie rods as i type, steering link to follow soon after today. put new links on probably mid week after paint has dried,quick tapemeasure wheel allignment on the stands, dr...

wopass

..... wheres the boom box tho mate/????

wopass

More progress has been made. have now got, tyres on rims, steering damper bracket made(fit it tonight). steering link end in the machine shop here at work getting done. drag link rod here in the workshop being made from heavy wall steam pipe(not gonna break that shit in a hurry)with 100 series cruis...

wopass

what sort of vehicle mate??... most of them have steering lock bump stoppers that you can adjust to fix that problem, a real mechanic would have spent the 2 minutes and done it for you,, unbelievable how lazy that is,,you must have taken it to the testing station.... and theres nothing wrong with th...

wopass

well, every thing has come to a head, all i have to do now is steering arm mod,draglink mod,and fit the tyres to the rims(hopefully get that done this weekend) quick tapemeasure wheel allignment,finish the fairlead for the winch and im good to go. had an interesting hicup with the electrics last wee...

wopass

ahh ,, the old spare wheel dont fit trick, hate when that happens. as for the cruiser being heavier making it better,yes i have found that as well on the sand, i think its because its a heavy beast it makes the tyres bulge more when pressure dropped giving it a much increased footprint whereas on th...

wopass

the king pin cone washers are a breeze to get off, turn the wheel out at full lock loosen all the nuts but leave them on a couple of turns, you now have access to the side of the steering arm which you HIT with a hammer(preferably brass or copper) possibly a few times, this shocks the whole arm crac...
