If it helps, I've never heard of M9 bolts

The old mild steel ones from my CDF kit are M8 x 60mm and M8 x 70mm. IIRC the 70mm ones fouled the ARB at the front so I fitted 60mm top and bottom.

 

Looking good there Shaun

The rebuild "Bug"

 

So tonight was the trial cutting of the new boot lid.
I am going for the spoiler less look with an A line spoiler. But after receiving a boot lid from East Kent scooby spares that got damaged in transit and has more holes than a sieve I'm now on the lookout for a boot lid that's already been despoilers and the holes filled.
If anyone knows of one please PM me

 

Mmmm I'm scratching my head over that one aswell. I've got one M8 and M10 60 mm ones on order and having some 5mm spacers made up

Cheers bud, I wondered how long it would be before someone cottoned on !!!

 

5mm spacers are not essential, they may be needed if the links don't line up. Yu can get alloy spacers off ebay quite easily

 

Can't you get a sport boot no holes to fill cheap to buy

 

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251613672095 how about this?

Cheers daz I've messaged the guy with the charge speed boot- asked if the carbon can be flatted back and painted.
Also messages the des with the white one.

See you tomorrow night

 

Carbon can be flatted and painted - think F1 cars, it's generally coated in a clear lacquer/gel coat the same as fibre glass

 

Looking better by the day Shaun, I look forward to seeing the progess.

 

That's very true. The guy is saying that the lacquer has faded and needs re-lacquering.
If the price is right it might be worth a punt !! Just an 8 hour round trip that's all

 

I'm sure someone local could pick it up for you and sort something out - there's always people on the road

 

Just need to find someone near or around the West Midlands area / Wellingborough area now !!

 

Thanks Ty just gotta stop saving and start spending a little

 

I was in Northampton last week I would of picked it up for you. I've got a colleague who works in Northampton I could get him to collect it bring it to the office then ill pop it to you if it's a problem mate

 

Daz if the price is right and we can sort something out I will be in a big car very debt

Thank you really, it means a lot

 

Just get it at a good price and I can deff get it picked up and back to you at no cost trust me

 

So nothing done tonight as it was the SWS meat and gravy night and a present of a fellow South Wales Scooby member made my night



Cheers Jay

Oh yeah and the postman came today



Can you spot the difference with these wings?

 

Yes the side marker locations have been deleted.

 

Those drop-links are for steel arms - the ones for alloy arms have equal sized holes at each end

Side marker delete is so 4-years ago

 

Dam, does that mean they are no good for the bug with alloy arms ??

 

You might be able to change the bush/insert but if you can't then the smaller bolt will have too much play in either the ARB or arm...

 

Dam it, why is nothing ever simple for me huh. Ok well I think these will have to go on the bay then !!

 

Here's the newage set-up...

 

Oh well. I guess these will go into the for sale section soon then. !!

Cheers Jon

 

The CDF kit is well made and a good price
