good work carl!!

Great work mate. Wasnt as hard as i thought it would be. I had the same problem with the stud, where i over tightened it and it snapped. However i just welded it the beam, and leftover stud. If i need to remove, ill just grind away haha.

Oh and pete, is it possible i take you up on the offer for parts off the half cut? I really need a stock exhaust, as mine is driving me crazy hehe. Is that exhaust usable, or is the stuff inside that keeps it quiet, needs to be replaced?

I don't think I've got any mufflers in good enough condition to be bothered with sorry. Try an exhaust place, a rear universal muffler is pretty cheap.

Good work getting that beam sorted Carl!

pete you weren't wrong about them bushes, they were hard work even with a press

[cdogg]

put the rear beam in tonight, pretty happy with how it fits and measures up.
still need to re-build the rear brakes, then it will be back on its feet...

I used to go out on saturday nights.

[Jarred]

don't worry carl, you're not the only one that was in the g'rage on saturday night!

[Water Boy]
