Jake:
I take it your not coming to Billing then Matt?
Shame

Matt_H:
I wouldn't mind goingand may well do, but perhaps leave the wallet at home, saying that I don't think apart from side sills that there is anything I need so probably wont spend anyu money.

Saying that I could do with some extended brake pipes, but I've ben toying with a few ideas

1) disattach the brakets then weld them 1" at each side closer to each other bending the exisiting copper pipes to match

2) making up a copper extension piece (it seems to only need a standard male and female with a short section of pipe)

3) buy new pipes

4) totally modify the brakes so that the front pipes run back along the body then back up the radius arms (with an appropraite flexible section in between)

and my thoughts on those are:-

1) is easy and bodge and I wont need to bleed the brakes... however I'll probably snap a pipe when rebending as the two callipers I've taken off so far have done exactly that.

2) can't think of any reason not to try this - will have to bleed the brakes

3) will have to bleed the brakes

4) as 3

I hate bleeding brakes by the way!

I had my side bar made to measure by W&H Wheelcarriers, who will be a Billing, I gave them the length I wanted and they adjusted the bars to suit. I got the ones with the tree bars instead of the jackable ones, acts as a side step if nothing else!!  :wink:
They a galvi'ed and sprayed over the top with galvi' fittings.  :D

This is the only photo I have to hand of them, it's not very good but you can just about see them.   :?  

Matt_H:
ooooh you've got nice wheel arch extensions too.... what are they?

--- Quote from: "Matt_H" ---Some of the ones I've seen had a plate that covered the original sill - any ideas if rebels ones do this?  At £178 they aren't too bad either :-)

I must admit, I've not seen the Mill Services ones first hand yet, so I'm not sure how they attach.  I do know they are £158 inc delivery.... so they are cheaper even than the Rebels ones...  good quality too.

There you go... I just saved you the cost of your entry ticket to Billing...  no reason not to come now  8)
