lol thanks guys, i bolted on the hubs and they bolt up fine and take the calipers. good times
all i need to do now is restrict the steering so the calipers dont clunk the lower arm.
and now going to pick up another rear axle.

Restrict the steering, that don't sound like an MOT friendly thing..
Good progress though, glad you pushing on with it.

MOT is fine with restricted steering, they would be more unhappy with the calipers hitting the lower arms!
What the feck is going on with the arb lowering blocks, did you cock up? Surly better to use a full block?!?!
i have an idea to restrict the steering, just need to have a closer look when its dry.
and lol alex to the ARB lowering blocks. i have done research, out of the two people i saw, one used a full block, and one used to skinny tubes.
the solid blocks, were heavy. and this doesnt loose any strength at all.
small update, travelled 300 miles to get another axle as it was complete.
so im gonna rob the ARB, the brake internals and thats it i think lol.

not a massive amount being done atm, but small bits none the less.
i know have welded the top half of the manifold. and killed my welder in the process. not good.
and also stripped the spare axle for its ARB, brakes, and a few other small bits. refurbed them, and will put them on tomorrow hopefully. pending weather lol.

also, for the first time, i assembled some brake drums. never done it before and it was easy tbh.

another question. i have put the handbrake cable on, and its fully adjusted, and it doesnt bite, is this because there isnt any fluid in the system.
to push them off the MC a little bit?
