Someone has already asked for 1st refusal but if he doesn't end up having them I will give you a shout.

I have rear FF. Might try my luck with the fronts to start with.

Just read right through the whole thread. Nice to see the progress over time looks impressive!

Re: Dan's Suzuki Samurai build - Nearly time for stage 3
Haven't updated this for a while.
It is currently out of MOT and having a few bits before its test and Wagtail.
I have modified the dash panel to add some switches and wire up the gauges.
I have also started building up a spare front diff with 5.125 Vit ring and pinions using the SJ 4 pin case to match the ARB I have for the rear.
I also have a rocklobster to fit with an x-eng handbrake which needs fitting before the MOT as the current drum brake on my 410 box is awful.
Hope its not too low geared on the road. Won't know till I test it.
