Im really hoping this is the last post I have to do on fitting wide track and Nitrons, im starting to believe I have numptyitus!

All is in place but, after realising I hadnt fitted the spacer and special nut I duly undid the lower nut on the offside and fitted said bits. All OK

Now then, after that I moved the the nearside and thought that the stud appeared larger that the other side but carried on. The securing nut when tightened has striped part of the bottom of the thread . I don't particularly want to have to replace the vertical and all the fun of removing the stub axle so was wondering if I could re thread the stud. Does anybody know of a good light engineering firm near Aylesbury that might be able to help????

Chris

surely you need to undo the TRE? as well?

After fitting the wide track kit, I appear to have forgotten the spacer that fits on the lower wishbone between the spherical joint and upright.

I can see how that would change things a little but how critical is it and if it does need fitting has anyone any wise ideas about how I can do without stripping everything down

GGrrrrr

Chris

Thanks for the notes

I have it jacked on the centre of the A Frame Where it suggested that it should be, im assuming thats ok?

So been diligently fitting my wide track and associated Nitrons and have moved to the rear of the car. I have found the cap head bolt behind the seat under the carpet but it only moves about a 1/4 of turn tightens up in either direction Am I doing something wrong??

Chris

Thanks John

I will loosen them off and then torque them up on the ground then

Cheers

After what seemed like a whole can of lubricant, a U clamp and a lot of swearing it came out. Do not want to do that again, the only thing is that the lower wishbone appears to bind a little even without the bolt done up (the washers were a pig to get in). But am assuming with a bit of use it will ease up.

Thanks for the thoughts I hope its worth it!

Yes the bolt head is defo facing the front its a bugger as I have to drift it towards the front of the car at this rate going to have to remove the primaries and the alternator!

Chris

HELP!

Im putting wide track on the car and have done the offside and was pleased with myself, now for the passenger side and everything has come off except the rear bolt. Ive got the nut off but it was all I could do to turn the bloody bolt. Ive no idea how to remove the bolt as both alternator and the apollo are in the way. Do I need to take take the alternator off?javascript:insertAtCursor(document.postpage.message,%20' *mad*')

Any useful thoughts would be most appreciated

Apologies > New London Theatre on the 2nd of Jan

I have two tickets to see Warhorse, really good seats 5 rows from front. From what I here its an amazing show.

Ticket cost will be face value at £90.00 each

Go on better than a pair of socks or a bottle of dodgy perfume!

Hi

Im in the process of fitting Wide Track and I have bought a rather spangly set of Nitons from Meteor Motorsports after a lot of discussions ( fully endorse Simon top bloke)

Anyway need somehere nearish to set the car up near Aylesbury, any ideas please

Simon has suggested a chap down in Horsham which is a bit of a track so any suggestions would at least give me an alternative

Best

Chris

Thanks chaps

Have mailed Carl as I have an order with him for rear lights and wanted to know when they would arrive

Does anybody know if there is anybody else doing the wide track as they seem to have been out of stock for the last 3 months!

All,

I am thinking about going to wide track and fitting nitrons or something similar but excuse the ignorance, is it easy to do

Do i need a spring compressor or do they just bolt off? and there seems a myriad of views about spring rates and ARB's

Does anyone have a simplistic view or am I being simplistic!?

Chris

Anyone noticed that CC seems to be running out of olds of stuff?

Apparently most wheels won't be in for another month and the wide track kits have been out of stock for at least that

Not good at all

Jase

Sent Paul a mail thanks for the recommendation, will let you know how i get on

Chris

Wow that sounds like a good deal will investigate

1500 did that include them masking etc or did you have to remove before?

Mark yes on the mend thanks so should be up to penns soon

Starting to get a few blisters at certain places and was wondering whats the cost of a re spray and any recommendations as to who?

Would I need to strip parts off or could I just leave with someone?

Chris

Thanks for the suggestions BIO I will give you a call if thats OK too

CC have sent me a tool but the poppers look too short

Thanks for the offer of help

Chris

Anyone know of someone I can take the car to to do the half door poppers I seem to be making a bit of a pigs ear of the whole thing!

Im near aylesbury

Thanks

Hi

I have just got the new half doors carbon effect from CC

My other half ordered for me and it seems there is a tool required to fit the pesky poppers

Does anyone know of one I can get my hands on near aylesbury or suggest a suplier?

Of course if anyone is nerby and wants to pop round to help tea and bikkies will be supplied!!
