got my wheels back for the re-furb place.

so fitted them up aswell as painting my calipers and
fitting a exhaust trim
yes a trim

its almost impossible to fit a aftermarket exhaust to it unless you go custom and that costs a fair few quid

i know it needs lowering but its almost imposible to lower the back, so itll be staying as it is

put the axle on the top of the spring instead of the bottom .. if its allrdy on the top you will need some lowering blocks which fit between the axle and spring and longer ubolts

its one big long bar

and the axel bar bolts to it using u bolts

hmm the axel bar has a plate welded to it to it sits square on the bar

spose i could get a 2nd had bar/beam move that plate to the top and lower it that way.

and exhaust trim, yes i used a 10mm spanner to bolt it down sequrely
