The flexi hoses will need to be extended as the fixing between them and the copper pipes is in the wheelarch so will go up the height of the body lift,but if you have access to a brake pipe kit you could make longer copper pipes and move the fixing to the chassis which is what I plan on doing when I lift mine :lol:

Thats a better way of putting it  :oops: I drilled the spot welds and lowered them using rivets ........ then bought a 4" extended set when ££££'s permitted  ;)

slackened steering shaft, undone all body mounts, removed front bumber, removed rear corner bumpers, removed transfer lever knob, found a hole in the passenger footwell  :roll: and found lots and lots of rust  :evil: but everything is on stop now because i was hoping to reuse the bushes on the mount's but they are all shagged  :doh: Any idea where i can get the new bushes from and an approx price. It's not the bushes as such it's the metal plates on top of the bush have just rotted away.

One of the washers has a tube on it, the so-called top hat washer.  Cheap enough from Paddocks as are the bushes, they were a stock item provided they have enough.

I got some from Bearmach and they are only a few quid each.

RRB, spoke to Paddock's while ordering seal kit for the steering box and the guy didnt have a clue what i was on about regarding body mount bushes or washers  :roll: Bearmach do them tho for pence. About 30p each i think but don't deliver to public only garage's  :evil: Gonna ask my local garage to order them for me. he's a very nice chap so i'm sure he wont mind  [-o< Oh and as far as my list is going at number 4 I need to add;-

4) Replace all parts and pretend you didnt notice the rust

and at number 10 )

10 ) Remove vehicle from drive , ( if still able to do so ), and clear up rust and rotten metal from drive !  :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Range Rover Blues:
At least it'll be faster with all the rust removed ;)

Paddocks, yes I often get the impression that the tea-boy has answered the 'phone, I always seem to get the trainee or something and end up having to explain it to them.

You could try Rimmers, by far the most expensive but the guys on the 'phone usually know what they are talking about and if they say it'sin the post, it's in the post.  Worth ringing them and asking for a brochure.

BTW, if you know the part numbers before youring Paddocks it makes life easier ;)  otherwise go into the shop there, the guys in stores are the total opposite, a mine of useful information.
