    Side mounts to OEM spec lowered seat rail

    Can anyone tell me if the OEM seat rails that bolt to the floor are the correct bolt spacing for side mounts for fixed buckets?

    Track Rod Ends - Which ones?

    Hey Guys, Last weekend I changed the oil and filter (Hamp Short filter + Milners Nandodrive 5w40), some fresh 2500s, and also changed the gearbox oil to Motul 300LS as it's got a spoon plated diff. I've driven the car all week, and it's been completely fine... Did a long run of around 250...

    Spoon LSD (Plated) – What gearbox oil?

    Hey Guys, Recently picked up a DC5 and was told it has a Spoon LSD fitted. Certainly seems like a 1.5 way plated diff of some description judging by the clunking/aggressive nature of it. Only mention not being sure on brand, as unsure if this effects the outcome of below? I need to change the...
