    Not sure about the others but external roll cages most likely are ambulances had them in the late nineties!

    Braided brake lines should be OK if they are ADR approved.

    50mm lift & 50mm diameter increase in tyres is allowable, however the 50mm lift kit must be a designed kit i.e. ARB,TJM, Ironman.

    With tyres this is a maximum of 75mm lift.

    I was of the understanding that you are allowed a max of 50mm lift. I was asking Andrew Richmond this when I purchased my 50mm lift, as I also plan bigger tyres. He told me the same thing.

    He said regardless of whether it is tyres or suspension the roof can only go up 50mm.

    I was asked " Is it ignorance or apathy?" I replied "I don't know and I don't care."

    Thanks for all your help.
    I think that the OE rear springs on my 110 are high enough to clear 255/85 R16, only the front would need different springs......But I need to find the official specs first.m
