How did you get the bushes out? that bit of wood looks designed for it. I remember them being an absolute nighmare to get out without a huge press. ended up drilling and hammering them out (now on KAP corrected HD arms, which are v. good, except I have 4.5" spring height instead of the 3" they were made for )

Tracks better straight forward, and doesnt feel so wiggly in center.. And it wants to go back to center by itself after a sharp turn..
The upgrade bushing on the rear end of the arm, is to reduce wobble.. And now it's wobble free! Atleast for now

First i put the arm on the piece of wood, and ran a 12mm drill through all three holes. Then i put in bolts through the holes in the wood, and checked that both arms where alligned, and the wood could be used as a jig / measure for the two front bushings.
Then i drilled 1 12mm hole through the rubber bushing, and cut the outter ring with a jigsaw. Be careful, very easy to cut to deep.
Then the bushings could be knocked out easily with a hammer. All bushings out within 30min.
A buddy brought the arms to his job, and pressed in bushings for me. And he used the "wood jig" to check the bolt hole distance.
Everything bolted up perfectly..

I would love to use the sport intake, as it really looks heaps better than the Jimny intake, but that would need a new throttle body thats alot bigger.
The intake is 56mm , which is 10mm more than the M13a, and bolt CC is also approx 10mm wider.. So, not going to happen i guess.
Some pics
Car is booked for wheel allignment tomorrow, and approval of the lift kit on friday..
Motor swap will be after this is done!
