Cheers TT, doesn't look too rough does it? Not sure i'll stick with the Cossie rims, they're a bit plain but a decent set of alloys in five stud will not be cheap .

Taking shape there Davy

The Dragon certainly looks a bit different from when you first collected it

The Transit joints you require are the Draglinks from the Mk2 Transit Late 60's to mid 70's.
These are easily avalable ..... I got mine from my local motor factors £6.50 each ..... Any problems with id, its the right handed ones with the 18mm X 1.5 thread that you need.

Should have the Maxi ball joints and Tranny drag links (that sounds kind of wrong somehow) tomorrow afternoon, ball joints at just over a tenner a piece and £4.30 each for the Transit links (assuming they're the right ones of course), Happy daze! Just waiting on the arrival of the bush tubes and bushes so that I can make the bones and mount them, hopefully they'll arrive tomorrow as I've got no work booked in and it'd be a shame to waste a day.

Decent prices there Davie

I am rather envious of you folk that live in area's where the motor factors have stiff competition

My only decent local factor has branches all over the county ..... Recently bought a budget wiper blade in the Plymouth branch £2.75 inc vat .... bought another wiper blade, same brand & size in my local Penzance branch, nearly £6

I guess that's the price I have to pay for the nice view from my window
