Shiney spanking set of new calipers arrived at my office today, i was going to rebuild the old ones but figured its almost as cheap to just buy new! And its alot less faff

Amazingly, the packaging for the pad retaining pins was bigger than that of the box for the pair of calipers! Mental! (we are such a wasteful country)

anyway, this will allow me to get my rear salisbury with discs on to replace the non working drums! also fit a new a frame ball joint, poly bushes and QT cranked trailing arms
ssswwweeetttt

I'm no expert, but i guess this is to ensure there are no gaps in the van and it all fits nice?

its mental, a box 35cm x 25c x 10cm to fit a couple of brake pad retaining pins.

no wonder things in this country cost so much

shall be ordering the panoramic glass tonight for the sides

Quite fancy these on Fleabay 251829598069

aye ive seen a few different options regarding stuff like that, unfortunately i need a "show" vehicle so this one and the mrs 90 will be having panoramic glass.

Got the design tweaked yesterday after a final measure up so will be sending them off for manufacture

EBC redstuff pads just got delivered. Urgh they stink of fish!

just bought a really tidy looking drivers side 2nd row door for £100

Bargain.

Cheaper and less hassle then trying to repair the current one!

Keep posting the pictures

Finally got a decent 2nd row door!

Well I made a copy of a "boomslang" headlight harness today and hooked it up with the LED headlights. Much better, i think my old harness is knackered as even the leds were dimmer when ran straight off that.

Mucho bettero! and hopefully more reliable too

Just tried out those LED headlights, what a revelation! I can see!

I would say that there isnt much difference between high and low beam, ok a little but not as much as "normal" headlights.

Why is this, a mate of mine said he'd fitted a Boomslang harness and it improved lighting performance?

The old wiring loom is fooked, it wouldnt even power up the led headlights at all. The seperate harness just takes a signal feed from it to activate a relay to feed the headlights with 12v direct from the battery via chunky (and new) wiring.
