Faor play to you .its all about taking that leap an cutting it up then take your time .if you can always make a carboard template they will be slughtly bigger than what you want so you can fettle it down .

and of course the age old rule the more you do something the more you learn

im liking the red axles, people would look under the landy and see the red axles and think they must have been modified or heavy duty.

the weather over in the UK must be starting to get better to do more work,
in australia here we are still having 28-29 deg c temps and its the last month of autumn here, our winters get to about 16deg c in the morning and is about 20-22c during the day, some years it has gotten down to 6-7 at night, out near kingaroy they were getting -1 to-3 c, i usually drive around at night in winter, its nice and cool for the engine and you can see odd things around the place, foxes, hares, snakes, toads, kingaroos and i mean 6 foot plus kangaroos, we have the greys in my region but out west its the reds and they will fight you if they are peed off.
