Yes, a mate got me some 15"x10 alloys, just need tyres now.

Hey clive, I replaced the rubbers with new original items at great expense and it made no difference whatsoever, so I cleaned one of the old ones and put it back in drivers door, no difference !!! so I guess it is the motors, I'm going to do the same as chris and give milners a shout !!!!

Cheers for feed back fellas, I'm a little lost when it comes to tyre sizes, my intention is to do a 2" lift and fit larger tyres, I been told I can fit 35", if this is not possible I will fit smaller. I got some 7" rims but I believe I need 8" or wider for the larger tyres, am I correct ???

hi iwan ! i done the tests i was capable of doing and all seems good, i think my problem lies between the communication from engine to box, had box checked by auto specialist and they say it ok, i would like to try another 80 just to compare it. perhaps there nothing wrong and the gear boxes...

CHEERS for info bandsnshakes !! i guess i could try another oil change. When you say lack of service, are you saying this box needs rebuilding ??

Does hard mean it goes into forward and reverse with a bump ? if so mine does the same and I got same year cruiser.

and yes, stella artois !!!:dance:

ha ha 2", bloody big fingers :icon-biggrin:
