After a lot of messing about the wheels are finally on the van, I had to get the centres opened up in the front and a ring made for the spigot on the rears and the holes elongating on the fronts to alter the pcd and trim the studs down so the nuts didn't bottom out before they clamped the wheels. But it was worth it...    Looking at it now I should have got higher profile tyres but meh, I'm more than happy with it. ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D |

Thanks for the comments,
Bigperm,
Its hard to drop the front a its double wishbones so lowering would send the camber out without some kind of extension to the top wishbone/nballjoint (maybe??? tips please)

The Aussies and Kiwis have all sorts of trick bits for these, bit far to go though! You may get some help here: www.buga.com.au/Those wheels are superb. Way better than those horrible slab things Bedford saw fit to throw on the later vans. You've got a top van for comparativley little effort and no weldathon! Lucky git |
