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.

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)Swerve wrote:Sorry been OS last 2 weeks, back last weekend.

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
