    Took the Old Trol for a belt around the paddocks, and was impressed how the set up handles the rough as guts tracks I use as fire breaks. Where I used to slow to about 10-15 kph, I can cruise through at 20-25 with out burying the recovery points.

    Slung a few bucks to a bloke that has a really nice lathe, and got him to machine up a drift to push out and replace radius arm bushes. Once I repair my press I'll get the job done. I'm also wondering if the castor correction radius arms from superior engineering have the same size bushes as standard arms?

    I can only imagine the forces applied to the off set poly would destroy them relatively quickly. After driving on the highway to Warnambool I can feel the front end following the contours much more and the steering is a little toey, a trade off to the lift and I can live with it, but I might hunt around for some second hand castor correction radius arms.

    One side radius arm bushes done. Even with the machined drift, the darn things wanted to kick off at an angle. It took a lot of swearing and tries to get them to start straight. The cheap press I have didn't help, so I will re-engineer it with tighter tolerances before I even think about the other side.

    With slow data, I can't get the search function to work. Could someone please tell me the correct Long Life spark plugs with the same heat range to use, other than the NGK BKR6E?

    This is the message george sent me..

    If the motor uses a little bit of oil he could go hotter to go a better burn so a BKR5E otherwise there is platnum plugs but dunno if he wants to spend close to $20 a plug. In the vl's and skylines they use the bkr6e but they're gapped to 1.1mm

    Thanks, BA my motor barely uses oil. The platinum plugs are excellent. Our van has had the same plugs since we've had it, and they're only just starting to erode.
