Nice one. Thanks for sharing. Looks like it was a good day out.

Excellent videos/documentation as usual Riccy

Wow, that looked like a fair lean!

Was that the Halo near Hazlingden i saw?

Awesome!

Particularly like watching "two Dales"... from the comfort of the desk in my study with a cold beer!

Brilliant

Floating rears progress...

Trip to the scrapyard today to get some brake calipers and brackets from a VAG car. Was told MK4 golf, but actually got them from a skoda octavia (identical part). Right old fight to get them off as they are an allen key style bolt that holds the hangar onto the axles. Got them with a bit of the solid pipe still attached to allow me to try and use the flaring tool to join them to copper, which I can join to the existing splitter block on the axle pretty easily...


(that is after a good clean-up and regrease)

Tried loosley putting it all together as well...





Seems odd that all that (plus wheels) is attached to the rear axle casing by four M8 bolts :woohoo: :blink: :dry: Might have to look into beefing that up a bit somehow.

Also found the ECU (behind the glovebox) and noted it is a 4 plug version, so I can use the wiring diagrams Martin kindly sent me to help with the upcoming throttle body & ECU conversion :evil:
