10th April road trip to oxford , operation caravelle rails

20mm front and 30mm for the rears, should leave about 5mm clearance? But will double check once Billy's are on etc.
Next is to find a drop link for the arb's.

A fair old weight then. I remember a 12x12cm x7m beam we had delivered that we cut to give a 4 and 3m length to put up onto an off-centre pier because we had no means of moving the whole beam and lifting into the pockets at either end. Even shortened it was damned heavy.
 
Be on ramps most of the time and then you'll be sucking up the fumes from the d2 fitting?

These were heavy green oak, 4 in total. Van did great as always.
Makes have to consider how much I can take down the billy's?

For instance I have 20 2.5m 4x3" pieces to collect...

I'm not doing it I think well not sure, tools will be with me as if I fit the pick up pipe I'm going to have to bung the other end or it's going to let air into the tank

Yeah I was going to do it on the drive till got quoted £150 to fit but he has let me down now:mad: it's straight forward main job was dropping the tank and fitting the pickup pipe leaving about 25mm from the bottom so not to drain the tank dry over night when on.
Think this d2 pick up pipe is a universal one and has to be mounted on the tank from looks of it.
I've got my R-line flappy paddle mfw coming :D silver stitching so might get vision to change.
Could of had red stitching but was a gti one

Just fold the pipe over and tie warp it, it will be fine thats all I did for a few weeks.

Sounds like them shocks will be Knackerd by the time they make it to me.;)
 
I agree, mine is loaded 99% of the time and sometimes has a caravan to boot! Thats why I get an average of 32 mpg and 25 when towing!
