Make that 3/2 against.

Although whoever made them was handy. Maybe you should get them chromed and then put them on ebay fast.

Sorry,

Regards,

Mike

Re: Over the top? Sad?

Hi Looks like a first attempt....reduce the wire guage and enhance the profile...you never know...colour coding might blend them in ...a bit....re the spurious damper obviously german bolts don't fit Brit bushes hence the angle of alignment ..and how about the self centre...ing characteristics !!! ???

Hi Fixwin, I'll put you down a a maybe then.......

The damper is off a P38 Rangerover and works ok as far as i can tell.
A lot better than when I had the original (totally shot) damper on there.
self-centre-ing is fine but to be fair what with the 2 inch lift and 34 inch Simex, handling could only be described as, fair

cheers

Richard

Re: Over the top? Sad?

Hi Richard, are you related to the guy that made them by any chance?
There must be some reason why they are still on?

I know taste is a personal thing so I suppose we must give you the benefit of the doubt, I think.

Regards,
Mike
