    Hope that helps.
    Ahhh i get it now, Thanks

    • FYI, it does put a lot more force on the bolt being that long (load-fulcrum-effort deal). But plenty of people seem to do it (and get them engineered like it) so it must be ok.. I guess.

                    • So glad josh tuned me into this,the attention to detail is amazing.

                      btw 30 bolt 15" RS rings are pretty much the same as the next set of 15" rings and are shared with the 14s and some 16s so pretty easy for me to fall over a set and(no offence)would be far better looking than the ones you turned up.

                      All in though pretty much just been clicking on the next page working through the build and just sitting with my jaw round about my ankles(read 'pretty much' as EVERY NEXT STEP in case your not fluent in Scottish)

                      build and a half!i Major,MAJOR,props for carrying it through all the issues,house moves births and losses. Your welcome to several beers on me

                      • looking great as usual al, keep it coming!...love the rear quater window

                        just wondering with those steel bushes, you don't require some flex in those components when cornering hard or going over bumps to reduce the load on control arm joints/chassis welds etc?

                        • Thanks

                          Just got the wheels out in the light of day, and as I am doing with everything reassess and tweak.but I was happy with the centers , but thing change.
                          Alloy bushes, with a steel sleeve( not pictured) am unsure of the result but less roll is less roll, proof shall be in the pudding as they say,I know one thing it's gonna be one super tight ride.

                            • I would have used Lubron I reckon. But that's just a thought.
