	Hi all, having a clear out so these need to go. They started as a 16 x 7 vito van steel wheel, which have been widened to 9.5", then powder coated black. I had these fitted to the rear of a merc sec, it looked plain evil! The tyres will need changing, but the rims are in perfect condition. If needed I have the standard width steels from the front for an extra cost. I'm looking for 100 but am open to sensible offers...

	Rusty jacking points and rear subframe mounts are something to watch for.

	It should have rubber pads on top of the springs, are they missing?

	Don't cut the springs yet, just swap the spring pads for thinner ones.

	Just a thought, but have you considered a volvo 740 axle? Those have disc brakes as standard, and some have an lsd.

	Nov 19, 2014 19:44:21 GMT ben-dover said: Not that I'm obsessed with Ssangyong's (worked there for a year) but the engine is an early merc 2.9 ltr. They have an in-line pump which has a throttle cable and from memory an exhaust manifold that positions the turbo level with the head. The immobiliser is just a solonoid valve on the fuel inlet pipe on the side of the pump, unscrew it and replace with a normal fitting. Might be worth trying to find a Musso in the breakers (could be hard...) and have a nose as I think everything you will need should be there. Not sure if the 2.5 and 2.9/3.0 heads are the same bolt pattern though but everything else should bolt on. (I may be wrong, correct if I am please) Spot on.
