does anyone know how much travel is needed for bumps i thought it was more than an inch,sure if your torry was stiff ,but half inch sounds awfully tight.think i had more than an inch on my hd and it would still bottom out.also speaking of chopped springs just pulled mine out .one of the coils is bent so bad it is touching the other,always chopped em before but now i'm thinking better get some made.does anyone know somewhere cheap in sydney,pedders quoted $170 for front springs.

i get so worried about this engineer thing cause my silly honda mechanic mate keeps telling me i'm gonna have a list as long as my arm of things to fix.i think i've been going overboard because this lawnmower mechanics been in my ear.i am the fussiest bugger when it comes to the ute cause my old man is bodgey and i listened to him on previous builds(hd&a ht) when i was younger,so i'm all about good workmanship these days,so i have no qualms about making it right .thanks all for giving me faith,especially ken as always.i think i have been worrying too much. cheers wayne

hey ken you said suitable sealant,you mean liquid nails or something.wouldn"t i be better off welding the plates to the floor?if so could the plate be smaller than those dimensions?also does the pillar need strengthening to accept bolt,dont wanna rip my good headlining trying to plate there.at the moment it just bolts through.i must also add that these laws are a good thing as this car was very bodgeyed up andwas a death trap.i have wanted to fix everything properly not for laws sake but the safety of me and my passengers.

just wondering what are the smaller things an engineer may pick,do i have to plate seat belts,previous owner just bolted through floor,no interior lights,my horn is on a button under dash,allmy heater squirters etc under dash,is this legal?just bodgeying it up to get it to him,but thinking it might be better to fix everything properly,is it better to leave a couple small things wrong so he may overlook bad work(welding etc)done previously?told him i'm a boilermaker,scared i'm gonna have to fix previous owners shoddy work,or am i worried about nothing?
