Great looking rig. Good job.

Axle Tubes arrived the other day , Thanks Calvin



Fitted the shorter(47mm) tubes to the front axle ..




These are not a copy and are different to the
"Beeftubes as sold by a vendor on this forum"
you dont need to hack up the plastic axle houseing for them to fit..

Fitted the longer 55mm length tubes to the rear axle..


Had the ground out the axle housing to get these tubes to fit..



Drilled and taped a 3m thread into the tubes..



Rear axle all finished and ready to be re-fitted..

Thanks again Calvin....

The Shoter 47mm ones are the way to go if you don't want to grind down the axle housing....

Just got to put it all back together now...

Will give you a test report soon...
