Craig_N Posted December 25, 2008 Author Share Posted December 25, 2008 Bourke came to mine this morning he was going to his girlfriends familys house and i was at his last night and he said he will fit them tomorrow. Carnt remember the make of the gauges and they are upstairs and carnt be bothered going checking just know that they are smoked gauges. Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Craig_N Posted December 27, 2008 Author Share Posted December 27, 2008 I went round to Bourkey's the other day and he has fitted the steering wheel for me. Here is a quick picture of it. It isn't the greatest but im sure Bourkey will get a better one for me .I also fitted the strut braces i have got for Christmas as well. They are the Ebay ones. For cheap strut braces they aren't bad at all. They fit perfect and do the job really well. The car handles much better. Just need to lower it now.RearFrontAnd here is a couple more pictures as i was messing about with the car.Any comments welcome .Craig Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Driver Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 i was under the impression they were :S never mind may invest in a set hmmm lolwhy you need a drill to lower it ?? i didnt :S i used spanners and socket set wi a pair of spring clamps Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 The actual shocker arm thing spins as you try and undo the top nut....even after clamping it so a decent tourqey drill will get it off. The garages around manch r fookers they wont do anyone a "favour" unless you pay them for a service, so it has to be done the hard way hes been waiting for ages and even has the springs.

Bourkey Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Yeah Manchester garages are right little feckers. They don't want to do anyone a favour. The garage down the road said they would do it, started and then said they wouldn't half way through ;).Me and Craig are hiring a drill for £15-£20 which is better than the £100+ the garages want.Bourkey Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 29, 2008 Share Posted December 29, 2008 Same trouble we have mate, we are getting closer to getting a 150-200 Lt air comp n gun but as you can imagine set-up costs are massive...in saying that it will give me a chance to practice my painting skills when im free ;)(P.s you may want to really heat up the nut before you attack it....use a decent blow torch with lots of gas think i`ve seen one in your garage bourke?)

Dean @RW-Developments Posted December 31, 2008 Share Posted December 31, 2008 mate id be very suprised if the oil sandwish plate goes straight on because you have power steering, i had this problem i ended up grinding a fair bit off the power steering bracket, if you need any pics just let me know nd il take some ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
