Longer studs are the way.
What are you thinking the problem will be replacing the old with new longer ones?????

i was worried about sourcing longer studs, getting four hubs off/on again with minimal tools/ability, on the road outside my gaff.sven360 wrote:Longer studs are the way.

Which is all immeterial, as longer studs wont help at all on contemplation. The nuts still need to be tight against the wheel. and there still isnt enough clearence them you get in tight. And I cant afford another fifty quid to buy new nuts, so theyre on the bay.

Do you use the rear seats for passengers? i know i dont as its just impractical with the car at its current ride height. If you dont use them, could you not just swap the fronts over for the mot, its only an hour or so work and only once a year.

Will for some reason my car catch fire if i put them in. (probably)

Theres been a lot of effort from you chris and john, just to get them here for me to just give up on them.

All these quotes have used by former/current employers to my good self.
You never plan to fail,you merely fail to plan.
We've all got problems. What we need are solutions.
You're just not trying.
All apply here in varying proportions

Just use the leather covers on your existing seats, it'll be fine!You'll have to do the same with the rear seat base too though as the 3 door ones are a slightly different shape

New day.
This one will be better Dude.
Its officially the weekend.
Our lord jesus will not allow us to be bothered by car problems at the weekend.
Even bad luck needs a couple of days off a week.

I should put some new parts to 360 after day rises (now 2:18am), so it might be more bad luck then
