i love transits with twin headlights,please tell me if they are custom
or if sierra one are adapted to fit.
trannys look good with recaros and cozzie bonnet vents and
twin h lamps running a trick motor.
saw a v8 one once that made the ground rumble and set off car
alarms

You can buy the quad headlamps off the shelf for a transit 1991-2000. this is mine.
As for the stub axle idea that wont work as the rear axle is the drive axle. I'm running 17inch alloys on mine on adaptors and to lower the rear you need to get the springs decambered.
