12" mini lights

Has anyone got these to fit? I thought they fit with no trouble but im contacting the calipers on the front :O (340) just about jams on, going to try a small 3mm spacer which might just do it but i assumed they were straight fit? must be the 13's im thinking of?

Thanks for any info

Re: Steering vibration damper

Thanks for the great replies, hadn't considered it as collapasble rack component, good point. To be fair my rack is fine and the damper is pretty good I just wanted rid as soon as I learned of its exsistance :) Are there any other rack options for the 340? its about 4.4 turns lock to lock and I'd li...

Re: Steering vibration damper

I want as direct steering as possible. All polybushed up front atm and i dont want any slop up front at all, I might try a new one tho theres only one on ebay atm for a tenner. Why would you want a chunk of rubber between your steering inputs and the rack? :shock: if only vibration dampening, i dont...

Thanks

340 diff removal

Hi,

ive heard when removing the diff on 340's the gearbox has to come out too otherwise its a bit of a job to set the diff up again? if you remove it from the box that is.

What exactly needs setting up when replacing a diff?

cheers
