  1. just been sent form 627/1 and a v55/5 by the dvla cos northampton wont let me make my own up :angry:

    the v627 is fairly staright forward

    but not sure how much of the 55/5 i can fill in ?

    anyone had to do one recently ?

  2. had another look at mine today

    took the spring off and slid the hub up the chrome shaft till the wheel (15 inch) rubbed

    on mine that takes about 4 1/4 inches of travel

    the bump stops the video tells you to fit are never gonna stop any thing cos they aint long enough

    i amthinkin of fitting something on the shaft to allow the bumpstop to do its job

    was considering either a piece os tell tube about 1 1/2 diameter with a washer welded in each end to centralise it and give the bump stop something to hit

    cut to length so that the bumpstop starts working at maybe 3 1/2 inches of travel

     

    any comments?

  3. no tension on them but for a supersonic job they realy want taking out and the end or the shaft drilling and tapping to something a bit bigger

    they are a barstweard size too at the moment so think you will struggle to find anything else to fit

  4. 1/2 inch more would certainly be better fnar fnar :rolleyes:

    i have most of the ford bumpstop in mine, was thinking of putting somthing solidish in top maybe a bit of plastic gas pipe or something so it actually does something. at the moment the car would be ploughin the road before that did anything

  5. what size wheels have you got now?

    i fitted 15 inch to mine because i could see the problem occuring

    mind you mine aint on the road yet

    was wondering about fitting a bigger bump stop to mine... something to stop the springs compressing any further before the hubs hit the wheels

    think mark kingston has experience with this and has fitted extra's ?

  6. free to anyone who wants to come and collect

    2 seats from a metro gta, clean with no cuts

     

    too wide for the 2b but maybe someone wants/needs them

     

    they are in northamptonshire and are in the way

    will be in the skip soon!

  7. could maybe be a relay on you main beam blowing the led with the back emf when it de-energises

    or as you say its a crap design/faulty

    does the blue led look over bright to you compared to the other led's?
