Not an uncommon practice.

Now if you had non-original rims and the hole in the centre of the rims was slightly larger than the originals - you would have a problem.

It's starting to look like a purposeful beast.

This jigger was at my work in August. Can't remember what it was in for.Not a bad setup from memory.
Not sure why they told you it was such a long wait for one. We had one on the floor at that time.
GB, if you need anything for it, give me a call and i will look after you.
Cheers

QUOTE=James;1985518]A few years ago there was a left hand drive Bremach T-Rex touring Australia.
It had been had fitted with a very good insulated panel camper box.

There is some information about the build on Oliver Reinhard's website.
If I remember correctly he put quite a lot of effort into mounting the box to the chassis with some custom silent blocks.

It looked to be a very good setup.

Looks a lot more "balanced" with the bigger wheels. Coming along nicely.

Range Rover rims are the same idea, with the weight being taken by the hub centre (as well as being accurately located in the centre of the hub), and the wheel nuts just there to stop it falling off.

Actually the wheel nuts are there to provide the clamp load which provides enough friction to supply drive, braking and carry all the load. The hub centre is there for initial alignment and for gross overloads or when the wheel nuts aren't done up enough.

the wheel nuts do come off.

you need to install the nuts correctly then check often.
the old UD trucks with dual on the left side often come loose-not the front single.

if they come loose the hub surface is damaged and you can never keep these tight.

some of the Isuzu trucks with alloy rims had warning label on the windscreen how to tension the nuts and the drivers carried tension wrench-then check every 50KM--but is that EVERY 50Km forever.

Thanks, the wheel nuts were not all that tight when I undid them.
I'll get some checkpoint wheel nut indicators just to be sure.

doing a bit more reading of the owners manual, suprised to read about the clutch "reservoir cover must not be removed, assembly is maintenance free"

the master cylinder appears to be polycarbonate
