Id like one that works perfect first time rather than endless laps trying to adjust something myself with trial and error. and I've read far to many comments that even set to the weakest rear setting is still to much :( Ouch Fred, that's not cheap :(

With the challenge of trying to source a second hand cup master cylinder I decided to nip in to my local dealership to get a price on a brand new item. ive been told there is a choice of 3 makes and he wanted to know which one i have (obviously I don't have one as I'm after one to convert the...

Trader section, wests Renault.

Can't beat a V8, just added one to my collection :) ​sod the fuel economy :)

Renparts, Traders section :)

Clarkey, If it were a 40ltr tank and you only managed to get £45 of fuel in the tank, that would mean you have found a really cheap petrol station selling fuel at £1.12 per litre.

Phil, after all this time I finally fitted the DCi rack. been down the unit for an hour and bolted her into place at last :)

There is no reason to convert over to 1.25, but at the same time its certainly not going to cause any adverse affects in doing so, as long as you have the correct nuts to accommodate. personally I'd rather stick with 1.5.

Heeyyyyyy, another Kelv :)

Doh!! :(

Yes, the strut brace is tied in to the main body of the top mounts, but the actual strut itself that you adjust using the camber bolts is fixed to the centre of the top mount where it uses a spherical bearing, these are more than capable of taking adjustments in angle to suit the minimal...

That could have gone a whole lot worse!

The price can vary so much I'd have thought, depends on bodywork condition before you start. and your not said if its a small van such as a fiesta courier van or something a lot bigger such as a Merc Sprinter!!?

I used a decent heat gun with a variable temperature control, kept the heat setting low but kept working it over the roof section of the tar, as I did so I just crept a home decorating wall scrapper under the edge of it until it peeled away with ease. no roof damage, kinks or paint distortion...

I kept lumping it all together as I removed each bit, I was shocked how much it weighed. And that included the section in the roof, as well as some on bulkhead below the wiper scuttle panel.

I removed all of the bits mentioned by the guys above, iirc it all came in at just over 14kg.

​Sorry, when he said coilovers I assumed they were coilovers!!!

You will need to get springs again for the rear if you are going back the normal style of rear suspension.

It is a Gen90 when I spoke to him earlier about the complete setup

Ill swap you your gripper equipped box for my standard box ;)

I could be ;)

Cheers Tony, I shall have a search a bit later in the day, cheers for the pointer ;)

This retailer seems to be in Essex, could be worth giving a nudge, his address and contact number is within the seller details. http://bit.ly/12jPapp

Korky pal, can I ask what Polo rad you have used, and did you have to get any other pipework, wiring, sensors, fittings or fans to allow correct fitment?

The OMP subframes you would buy will bolt to the floor in the standard fixing positions, you would then fix your choice of bucket seat to these via your slider. completely reversible if you wish to refit the factory seats at a later date.

Cheers Phil, that gives me a head start, thank you.

Cheers Phil, the standard bolts I assume? Morgan.... Donut ;)

Phil, bringing this thread back up again, do you have a pic atall of how you have fitted the rack? at a quick glance the DCI rack appears to have a different mounting method. I haven't got them side by side as yet or tried to fit the DCI rack as yet, but was curious how you have approached this...

Not sure if its just the way the advert is laid out when viewing via the phone, but that was one of the hardest and worst descriptions I've ever tried to read :(

That looks really nice. the only things I would change from a personal point of view, would be to remove the front tow strap and engine cover sticker.
