    Not so cheap Mr LR as it's a 2" drop axle, about $300 for a longer one. Although I think for piece of mind...

    EDIT - pics below. Spacers are made from 12mm steel plate. I was lucky enough to have free use of a CNC plasma cutter at the time, a very handy bit of kit...

    The bits - showing the longer studs and bolts compared to the old ones.


    Sitting in position - you can see both spacers here.


    All together -


    Now I'll sit back and wait for the flaming...
    You should have just fitted 1 Ton rims (Rover part 569204)





    Note that trailer mudguards wider than the originals.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    They've been on there since 2009!

    But I haven't taken "Mary Austin" to the Swim-In since I got the Haulmark Pt1-1.2 in 2012, so you may not have seen them.

    I may not even come down. I've been restructured out of a job and also have to find a new home for the toys and move them within the next 35 days.
