jimbo198966  If nothing comes up near me soon, I may be able to collect you're rusty one as I'll be going to Sheffield to see my car, could pick up on the way there or back. How bad is the rust? is it badly pitted? would it refurb okay?

I've bought some wide wheels and want to shorten the axle by 50mm :)

Will do mate. It will mean I need to shorten the ARB as well, or maybe make a new one from some sprung steel bar.

I got the idea from Jon who is painting my car, he had some split rims made up to 10j and had to shorten his axle to get them to fit.

There must be enough room to bring it in as the guy I'm copying off has air ride fitted as well. Looking to come in about 20-25mm at each end, which isn't a lot from top to bottom. Like I say, it's just an experiment to see if it works for me.

I'll let you know how it goes :)
