aww cmon dave. can you take it out and measure it for me?
sure you do this kinda thing alot. You can give me an answer thursday night. No i dont want you to take it out and show me! Will take your word for it. I dont actually want one I just want to know stock size to be able to get 25% bigger ones made up.

What have I been doing? Nuffin but frigging uni work. Until last night I hadnt been to bed before midnight since last thursday. Been so busy I havent been here since the 1st Sep. Before that I would have logged in 4 times a day everyday. Turbo kombi has been sitting up on ramps for about 3 or 4 weeks. (leak in fuel tank)

Fras

Build a set of Coil over adjustable shock.... would fix the problem much easier.

its a type 3. they have torsion bars.

if you want coil springs then you should get a superbug.

or a wasserboxer.

*sigh* He is going the coilover route though. I wouldnt, be he is.

Chris, come on up to Boris' picnic day this Sunday. Someone is bound to have some T3 bits lying around. I will even bring some calipers just in case. I'm only going to be selling some Kombi bits though.

Cant make it to picnic day. Doesnt matter. I have gone back to turbo kombi project anyway.
