Thread: Diary of TDI Conversion - Day 27 Up and Running!!!

G'day Gaz,

This vehicle has a 1" body lift which was provided by Graeme Cooper here in Sydney. It also has 2" spring lift using Lovells springs and 32" MT's

The GC 1" kit comes with 10 alloy spacers, new genuine body mount rubbers and longer bolts.

You need to use the metal washer / spacers from your vehicle or order new ones from LR - I just cleaned mine up on the bench grinder as they only had surface rust.

I only wanted 1" body lift to help with clearence of the new motor, but this also ment there was enough capacity on the break lines - can just pull them through a bit further and on the rear rotate the union - see my pix somewhere. There is enough thread on the seat belt mounts to still fit with the 1" and if you have rear body brackets that unbolt then just put 1" box section on top of these.

Only prob I can see with a Disco is the steering column union - I tried to use the later Disco one but there was no adjustment, so ended up using my RR one.

HTH

Thanks for the information - my main problem wouldn't be the steering but getting into my carpark at work - my car is standard and I already scrape the the garage door with my roof rails and thats with worn 15" tyres.

As I said - nice job

Thanks

Gazzz
