KiNK43 2,149 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Pretty mad the amount of rust ay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 2,935 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 That's a pitty mate as Koni stuff is always 1st rate. Still, looking at that mint bay and all the newly refurbished suspension makes me envious! Looks sooooo good! Any idea on the time frame for Tubs2 hitting the road? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dr_broon 1,813 Posted September 8, 2020 Author Share Posted September 8, 2020 Cheers man. maybe in the next week or so it'll be ready, but I need to sort stuff out with the DVLA. Would anyone happen to know whether the bolt that connects the lca to the cross member is the same on any other honda like a dc2? Need a new one and typically can't get one Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dave 2,935 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 hmm, I would imagine so but not one I've had to source before. The DC2's were based on the civic chassis (although probably more EG/EK than MB) essentially so I'd assume the bolts were the same? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
KiNK43 2,149 Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 It'll be very similar however i recall the pitch of all the bolts on my eg were different to the mb so couldnt swap them about. Not positive but you may be in the same situation with dc2 bolts. Personally I replace them all with good quality stainless steel bolts. Look nice and shiny and no rust issues later on. No problems with breakages etc in over 10 years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If it has, it'll be the usual band of twats who break perfect cars for the engine/box and just to make coin So many mint condition (and sometimes superbly modded/upgraded) MB6's have been broken over the years it's a sin. Here, what's John doing with old Ruby? Did he ever get her back on the road? Sorry Dave, forgot to reply! John still had Ruby buy needs sills and stuff. He's thinking of either repairing or selling 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
