    I added the adjusters to the rods I'd acquired, on Wednesday this week.

    A friendly chap at the local Land Rover independent garage let me user their lathe and press. Oh what fun. Hard to imagine how you can possibly live without a lathe. And a press of course. I'll get him a slab of his tipple in return.

    So with the weld studs and adjusters pressed in I welded them up. Then cleaned them up and painted them with this end result. Just got to fit them now.

    All complete now both front and rear, and re-centred the steering based on the steering wheel position, with the panhard rod adjusted the steering wheel position was out by 1/3 of a turn to the left.
    Whilst measuring the gaps between the rear wheels and chassis I noticed the EAS heights were slightly out (12mm between left and right in standard height). No problem I'll hook up the laptop and tweak the values....wrong! The minimum and maximum values that are supposed to be available did not work in this instance so I have now changed the length of the height sensor arms on the rears to compensate and now I'm back in operation.
    This weekend depending on sea conditions I will be either towing the boat (Sea Rover) down to the boat ramp to head offshore for some snapper and if we're really lucky some dhu fish or off into Julimar Forest for some serious 4x4ing. Either way it looks like a fun weekend ahead

    Hi Gary, great work mate! I've contacted Andrew from technico, in the process of getting them made as we speak. I'm a little confused on the steering issue you mentioned, how did you adjust your steering? From the steering rod? .
    Cheers

    DANMAL, yes just the steering rod. I left the drag link unchanged as it controls the toe in/toe out. I should probably take it for a proper wheel alignment but during the test drive it performed beautifully with no pulling to the side when braking or driving and self centred when taking the hands off the wheel (carefully!).
