Ok so I have been out spannering the prototpyes!
The SJ hubs fit fine, I just need to source 30mm bolts to put into the kit. I didn't have enough bolts to fit the hubs properly to my car so it was only a trial fit.
You will need
You MUST get the cone collars with the hubs, these come on the old bolts and can be prised off by opeing the slot with a screwdriver and then winding them off the thread.
Typically the SJ bolts are too short and the Jimny bolts are too long.
The steering damper kit test assembled on the bench
The damper attaches to the steering arm using U-bolts and bracket 1. I think we need to review the U-bolts as whilst those my engineer sent are probably up to the job they certainly do not look the part.
Bracket 2 bolts to the cross member.
And here it is fitted!
Now clearly you are interested in the prices. I have to source the bolts for the hubs, but the target price for the kit of rings and bolts is £25 plus p+p (it may be less if the bolts are dirt cheap)
The steering kit DOES NOT INCLUDE THE DAMPER. This is because you can get them really cheap on EBAY, just search for LANDROVE DISCOVERY SERIES 1 STEERING DAMPER. If you pay more than £20 for the damper then you have paid too much.
The target price for the damper brackets is (subject to finding a better U-bolt at the same price) £38 plus p+p
The rear recovery point is designed to fit the REAR only (a front one is in production) and is designed for STANDARD cars, hence the length in the arm to bring it below the plastic bumper. The price for this is set at £42 plus p+p, there is a lot of metal in these - its 10mm thick plate.
I will be verifying the bolts and U-bolts tomorrow and then they will be in the shop
