Good luck with it - so are you bringing it to Show and Tell??

[shaunh]

Very nice!
I was just wondering if you could get a couple of measurements for me?
I need to know the distance from the rails edges of the gearbox brackets on the gearbox crossmember and also the distance from the rails to the centre of gearbox mount bolts on both sides

Would be much appreciated
Cheers Shaun

That is great, I wish my 55 was that together.
You may have a bit of fun getting the wiring to the back as someone has installed a rubber gromit and not put any wire or string to pull it through by the look of it. It's next to the towing plate.

I have just joined the forum, also with a 55 (which came from a forum member) and as I am in Canberra I am keen to experience the show and tell you mention:)

Can you shed any more light on Canberra connect options? Ta.
