Right. I was going for 7.5J ET5 Front and 8.5J ET10 rear, but an extra 8mm will make them rub. What is the machining of the hubs for then, and don't you remove the existing rear drums? Is there no way round it? ...again, its going to eat into my dish :cry:

Another question about Tonys brakes...

Hi mate, I'm getting the same setup and although its a bit last minute, I wondered if the track is altered at all? by this I mean does the bolting face move inward or outward at all, front or rear? Reason I ask is I'm having 15" splitrims made for this car and whilst I had decided on offsets for a s...

FACT - the caliper protrudes 10mm beyond the mounting face of the disc between 100 and 150mm (from wheel centre, along the radius)

peugot electric powersteering conversion

I have the std powersteering all 2.8 do but its a bit leeky and knotchy and the assistance is pretty week at parking speed - so, I want this lightweight, clean, simple electric setup i hear new cars have, and no shit looking p/s pump too. Seem to remember someone (god know who when or where) saying ...

Also, are any type of spacers ok? (if i needed them to widen the back to match) I see in...
