Have a look at the 2011 Simpson trip, Mr Mucks MWB had 35's and he did a guard trim, I will follow on the rear, I had 35's on the front of my blue ute with minor scrubbing.

Just doing what I can untill I can bring the 72 back home to work on.

Steeeeeevo.... What's goin on? Any updates?

Did you end up using MQ or MK springs with the conversion?

Quick search you need MQ stuff, If you look at ebay, MQ shackles (80-83) are straight, where as MK shackles (83-88) are flared etc. I did write something up at the time, but might have been the other forum. Also if you look at a MK spring pretty sure it is like 70mm wide the whole length, where as the MK is flared in at the shackles etc (or something like that)

I think I remember seeing your write up on the MQ here.

Well lined up on the weekend to start getting ready to move the 72 back to Sydney.

Heading down with Ferdy tomorrow , to clean the garage up, build a shelf so the 72 can be moved to Sydney. Will be able to actually turn that engine over, first time in 3 years
