mark thats kool real good to hear the history of your rod it would be good to see some build shotsOriginally built by Kevin Palmer in the late 80's early 90's with my assistance , built in a single council lockup with no pwer etc so as i had the van my job every saturday morning was to get the genny from the hire shop so it could be welded etc.................ive got some pics somewhere ?????? ill have to look them out and take them around to Kev to reminise ...LOL.....Nice to see it again..it was original factory blue back then....
the rear tyre is a n50 15 protrac (only got about 600 miles on it )10 x 15 centerline must admit ive never looked at the bushes but it used to drive nice with no sqweeks and with the coilover shocks it was good (the transverce spring is still in place as this give the bottom end more rigidty so im told )What size is the back tyre that is required ? and are the bushes in the front viva suspension standard rubber or polybush ones and are they okay ?
What stud pattern is the front on ?
sorry the stud patern is 5stud i would presume jag chevy same as the rearthe rear tyre is a n50 15 protrac (only got about 600 miles on it )10 x 15 centerline must admit ive never looked at the bushes but it used to drive nice with no sqweeks and with the coilover shocks it was good (the transverce spring is still in place as this give the bottom end more rigidty so im told )
