    Yep, Nicho is right, I got the 3degree radius arms and trailing arms from qt services in the UK.

    The bushes are superpro bushes - I got them from a supplier in Australia www.wholesalesuspension.com.au/superpro.html

    All other parts - brakes, pads, etc came from paddock spares also in the UKwww.paddockspares.com/

    Dusty all this attention your giving the underbody I'm thinking the first time you see mud on a track your gonna hit the skids and think twice!
    But I must say it's all looking very nice and your going to love the ride with those radius and trailing arms. Mine feels like it's walking over rough terrain. It feels magic compared to the standard arms

    Looks like you've been busy mate.

    Can you please let me know where you found the best place to source the Dynax UB or Dynax S50 from? I'm about to do the underbody of my Disco 2. Dinitrol was my 1st choice but it won't be in the country for 8 weeks and I need this job done before that.

    The price on the PPC website shows a 750ml can is $50. The Dinitrol is $20 or so for 1 litre...

    The 750ml can will give a continuous spray for approx 5 minutes.

    Did you or are you planning to do the whole underbody with the stuff?

    Thanks.

    You are the second person on AULRO that I know of who has had trouble with it.

    I have done a 12 month field-trial with Penetrol on rusty steel and of the four products I tried, it was the only one that worked perfectly - after 12 months in the weather no new rust has appeared at all!

    Cheers Charlie
