Haha weather over there sounds good to me, bit bleak over here not looking good weather wise !

Yep i have paired back the rubber at the top so fits grand ! Now i cannot seem to get the bottom of the shocks to line up properly with the standard mounts :( ???? they are not lining up by bout 10 degrees ?

I have not fitted my castor correction bushes yet, big problem ?? Man if i ever bump into you, i shall buy you a crate of beer ! I need to get to my mates garage to fit the corrected bushes !

Muchas gracias !"

Did the shock come with a fitting kit which will have a set of sleeve with a large size hole. if it did try one of them till you get so relocation brackets.

No unfort not ! I think the answer is to fit the standard springs n shocks back on for the moment, be patient and order the relocation brackets ! Looking now i can see that w/o them the shock doesnt have too much space ! Damn it anyway ! I was hoping to go for a show drive 2moro ! :(

Thanks again dogz, i owe ya and will get back onto you when i start again !

Sound !

I am not sure what the problem is you are describing here? The shocks should fit, do you have a picture? You also ordered the slightly longer shocks so the brackets will make them longer again?

Hi Martin !

I shall get a picture up 2moro morning !

Basically when i fit the top shock mount bolt it goes in fine. But when i line up the shock with the bottom mount they do not line up exactly and the bolt cannot be threaded through. I have tried to manipulate the axle position to get everything to line up, but still no joy :(

I am sure i am just missing something simple.

Thanks
