Sorry, I edited last post.
Give Anton a call and see what he advises. With the Border kit, I'd personally buy the Genuine Part individual bits. Do you know Causeway up at the Dunball roundabout? Clive in there should be able to fit the welded part for you. Just make sure it is done properly. |

Causeway is one of our sponsors. I have a feeling that i have opened up a whole new kettle of fish with this suspension. I had thought we would use OME springs and shocks and be done with it... until the email from Britpart offering suspension.

Think a phone call to Anton is a good idea. Will do that in the morning.

Probably best to try some options before you go.
Do call Anton though. I haven't seen him recently, but he was doing a few of the Azalai conversions mounted on 110 and 130's. He probably has some experience to share. |

Hello Mate,
I always deal with jake, Liz or simon at D44 as jake is a friend of mine and if he says its right i would go for it as i have always bombed him with question and issues and he has never let me down so far

Ah, I stand corrected James. I haven't been in contact with OEC for a year or so.

I think more important than anything else is to not overload the vehicle and make sure that the heavy items are towards the middle and low down, certainly not aft of the rear axle.

Very good advice! Much appreciated. Talking to superpro at the moment so hoping something may come of that with king springs
