Background info.
Demolished a telegraph pole last Friday :doh: .
Bent various bits on the front axle so decided to swap for disco ones, picked front and back up for £80 each, read swapping info on here but most of the posts cover the rear axle which seems fairly straight forward, just turn the 'T' piece over on the top of the axle, but the front axle is a pain.
The near side brake pipe comes off the calliper towards the left of the shock absorber (as you look at it) but the connection is welded to the chassis on the right hand side of the shock and the connections are different.
So answers on a post card please..... Is it a case of moving the connection or longer brake lines as I'm ready to beat it to death with a hammer
Pics of how you've got around the problem would be useful to please.
I can't believe how much the bloody axles weigh...
