I went with the Bearmach kit, but it needed a couple of holes re-drilled to fit, and with disco 1 wheels, i now need to get the ofset changed as the tyres rub on the shocks in their new position when I turn sharply (I know HAVE to do a 3 point turn to do a u-turn in my wide street ( about 19m wide!)

This was the kit I reckon, poorly made and a pain to fit. This is why I am thinking of EAS turrets as the chassis holes etc are already there.:)

No Worries, the whole build etc will be photo'd and I'll be starting fairly soon. I can post some turret pics etc soon, but lower mounts will either be custom or I'll use a complete EAS RRC front diff housing.

MJ Lee Engineering used to make them, that's what I've got.

Can't see them on Matt's website, but might be worth an email.

Can't find a pic of mine either :mad: but the front shock sits a bit lower, attaches to the radius arm bolt.

From what I have heard on the U.K. forum,I think Matt Lee is now making stuff directly for Devon 4x4,particularly wheels.

I'll be doing this to my 120" soon to accommodate the front air springs. I'll be fabricating my own as EAS rangie mounts are to low for my 80 series shocks. Will involve cutting into the inner guard as mentioned before.
