I have one of these kits sitting on a shelf, waiting for me to fit if any one needs a picture or any more info. (like finding the time to fit it)

Chris, if you mean the DPNW kit then lucky you; as they are currently out of stock.

Well, you could e-mail them and ask.
Toby and Misty have excellent customer service. They'll be able to tell you straight off the bat.
Better dead than smeg.

I am having my rack refurbished and as the the steering will need re-aligning I may as well fit this kit too so that I don't have to have it re-aligned twice...
I have emailed DPNW to see how long it will be before the kits are back in stock...

Job done this morning :lol:
I don't know how Nick/Mike did it but boy are those bushings tight in the trailing arms. Perhaps next time (lol) put the bushings in the trailing arms first with the aid of a large nut and bolt and some large thick washers to 'pull' them in to the trailing arms. Just a suggestion.
Anyway the origional bushes were as before completely shot to bits to the point of the inner fell out of one.
Has not completly solved my small amount of wobble at the steering wheel when braking, but it IS better and true to form I think the handling is better,.

hmmmm..........got me thinking again about my 'clanging' noise when I'm doing low speed cornering (ie carparks, manouevering on the drive, etc).
Must get that sorted. Whens the next Norvern Techy Meet boys? If it ever stops raining I'll get the barby fired up and we can make a weekend of it
