Check out the landyowners site, and its a guy called Daffyd (spelling)

Fluffle-Valve:
Please tell me more?

bogie:
Axle/spring locating blocks require half inch spacing block to raise the casing so the rear drag arm clears the springs.
Lower shock mounts need to be moved backwards half inch so the drag arm does not foul on full lock.
You require 1 tone shackles, to gain the right caster angle.
A wide yoke front prop is required if you have power bolloxs.
You require approx 18 to 20 inches braided pipes to the caliper, going into a T piece to split the feed.
The drag link from the stering relay to the axle needs to be extended by 3 inches.
The brakes work fine with a series servo giving a firm pedal from the top.
I done this convertion 3 years ago and had no problems.
Considering the price and the work involved, it is a better option than buying the convertion kits which totals 1200 quid, as I have also gone down that road.

Hi
Been scanning through the forums as i'm looking to do this conversion on my Stage 1.I am a good welder and capable of doing all the saddles and whatnot but am not to keen to extend the steering arm by welding.Can a longer arm be bought? How did you do this?
Thanks
