ammarbm Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 you just remove the nuts from the top of your suspention and it will sit in place then replace nuts and your done, you prob want to loosen off the gold nuts on the brace fixing so it can move and sit in place neatly if not remove one and fit that then other will fit easily and you should be able to bolt it back up.. i think that makes sense LOLThe gold nuts on the sides are lose atm so the ends can move shall I tighten them up after installing the brace or leave them lose?

ammarbm Posted November 13, 2013 Author Share Posted November 13, 2013 What happened with the wheels in the end mateI am refurbishing the alloys mate. . The paint was flaking and the finishing wasn't nice so atm I am sanding them down to the metal just using coarse sand paper but it takes a lot of effort to remove the paint completely. I will put a pic tomorrow of the one I have done so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Brown Posted November 14, 2013 Share Posted November 14, 2013 The guys who did mine used a grinder with appropiate pads to remove damage and then flat the paint for spraying, you do not have to totally remove previous paint just sand down to a keyed surface with no flakesi would also break the bead on the tyres as well give you better access to the edge rim and you are better off doing this to spray them as well... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheaper than sand blasting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
