Possibly something similar to what Jacks runningDanny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly something similar to what Jacks runningDanny.G'day Dan.Yes and we had to take the small balance weights off the front rims as the clearance between them and the calliper was close to negative - surprisingly the wheel balance appeared unchanged on the way home - so happy with the rims and brakes...smooooooth as. Nizdave appears to have the tranny changes sorted too, a good blend of soft when slow and firm when going hard (hmmm not quite how it was supposed to sound).Dingah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
