re:
I have a set of 5 bn ones that im not going to use but they are 6 stud wheels and im not sure they are the same as the 5 stud.
sorry have not replyed been busy on my girlfriends new sportrak build. im just after the centre caps for the 5studs fondmetals, same style as yours. they are 7inch/175mm centre caps. doesw anyone know where i can get some?? not seen any on ebay.
on the subject of workshops i have a fairly large one, and its messier than yours! but i still dont stand a chance of building something that smart, do i need to be messier?!
PS. To zukenstein love the onelife live it adaptation, its now my desktop background!

back end of the zorst done
It was right in the path of where the winch cable is going to run so i had to put some really wacky bends in it
 also fitted the load dependant brake bios compensator from a lwb vit. I had to put the operating arm on the panard cos all the other links had to much travel for the spring. So thats the rear end all plumbed up brakes, arb, breather.
Thanks for all the comments and support chaps i cant belive iv had 13k hits on this . Thanks

fuel tank today. Cut and folded some 4mm alloy sheet
Welded it up
Spun up some more fittings
And a sender mounting plate.
This tank will feed a small tank with the in tank pump fitted

small tank to hold the fuel pump. The idea is it will always have fuel in regardless of the angle the truck is at.
