Bought an used roof box, when both seats are in there are not much room left, about a foot in the trunk, i just fit the Chicco Lightway Stroller (if yo take of the front wheels)..
AdCNC wrote:I modified my axle brackets to pull the wheels back in line. Took about 40mins to take them off re machine them and pop them back on. Heres a pic of my beautiful assistant holding the bottom clamp with the elongated clearance hole i had just machined in. and heres a pic of the other being machined out on the mill.
This way saved me adding an extra chunk of steel and lowering even further. Keep it simple i always say
Hello going to order my suspension asap. Can you tell us in bit more detail what you have done what you have used and why its necessary? Ta james.
Sure. In the rear lowering kit there is 3 plates one with two welded scollops on to locate onto the axel, this you do not modify! The other two plates i modified as to pull the axle back in line. The plate you see in the picture is the bracket that sits underneath the axle and spring (very bottom clamp) the hole in this is just a clearance hole to allow the centring pin in the spring to locate in the upper plate. Now the other plate i have not pictured comes from factory with a single 15mm hole in to allow the spring to locate. As i needed to move the axle back 15mm i drilled an hole off to one side of the original hole for the locating stud to drop in.
Started to put some plywood in on the passengerside:
In case anybody is wondering, the white plate is for my trailer, and the black boxes are from an ECS towbar wiring kit.
Next step is the driversside.
