Patrol rear coils
Hi all, as I now have my specially made rear coils (25% plus with 75mm lift) I now have spare a pair of 20% stronger std ride height, if anyone interested, will post a pic tomorrow, Rick

Sadly looks can be deceiving, they only give me 25mm rise, so not even up to stock height, bear in mind my motor goes 3.2 tonnes, so I have resorted to inserting a couple of smaller diameter springs from a Vauxhall Vectra i think, with an ali block 40mm thick at the top 1 to bolster the spring, 2 to stop it disappearing through the top hanger onto the body, anyway they improve it by about 15mm but still not good enough, now looking at some air bags but must be cheap, found a pair for about £170 just waiting for manufacturer to get back to me with answers to a couple of questions, Rick

Yes mods needed indeed, decided to cut the floor out for decent access, and found the top hangers are not as they should be, so procured a bit of 12mm plate that will be stitched between the two to stiffen them up somewhat, need to get it sorted ready for an outing to Slindon on Sunday coming, Rick

A simple job turns once again into a whole operation. These Patrol keep us busy.
