Prefect thanks gents!

Fairly simple question, although the answer seems illusive! Simply want to figure out the location of the steering box on the chassis to work out bottled hole locations. Perhaps as shown in pic

Planning on using OME springs. Any ideas!

I need to weld some new spring plates on my doffs as the centre pin holes are ovals out. Can any tell me what the pin diameter is? Stupidly I cannot measure off my springs as I got rid of them. I suspect that the hole should be 19mm diameter?

Progressing at turtles pace! A year since I last posted! Jeezz! Here is the new and improved turbo'd version of the 15b - finally got it running again this weekend after the clean up and turbo conversion.

...only a year later but finally running!

Good choice! Wanna is a great spot!

I'm in Auckland. And there are a few others here too. Saddam Husain and Tom are in Wellington. Auckland is a great place live as HJ61 mentions. You want to live close to where you work, as traffic is s***. Takes me 12 mins door to door on the KTM which is perfect. House prices are huge - with...
