Looking really good Dave :-)

If you doing more G-wagon axles, turning the diff over, could you perhaps get some pics of the operation :-)

Nice job with the turnover of the front and the steering arms etc.

Some questions,

1) from where did you get your pattern change spacers?

i got for me 1 front and 2 rear G axles and some G rims but they are too heavy.

2) from where did you get the new radious arms bushings?

3) how many degrees have you gave to the diffs? I mean the possition of the diff looking. -6 ?

Redrilled the half shaft flanges to suit Vauxhall/Opel stud pattern
Discs are G Wagon machined down in thickness to fit jimny calipers
Jimny calipers sit on custom brackets that then allows them to bolt to the G wagon hubs
Machined up Aluminum sleeves and fitted them into the arms to allow landrover poly bushes to be used
The diff has been flipped over and put back in exactly the same place as before i have a jig for this operation
The radius arms have been mounted to the chassis in the correct position to give the car a 1.5 degree castor angle
Hi steer arms are bespoke made by me steering bars and drag link are Suzuki SJ
Panhard rod is on custom mount has been cut in half and now has a adjuster it is the G wagon rod
