Cool, Cheers Dave.

Cool Cool, may even have the car back on the wheels tomorrow then
brakes, beam and coilovers

bit worried tho adam, from where the top hats go to were the cups sit is alot deeper than the depth of the bearings.
almost to the point that they the bearings are going to be slapping in the wind.
do me a small favour and take a pic of yours and mail it over to me old sport!

id like to see your top hat, and the space from that to the underside of the cup, as said - the space on mine is alot deeper than the bearing that sits in there
