Sorry, I mean "sticky backed plastic" no brand names here :P

Yeah just for mocking it up instead of tack welding it :D you can see it in the 3rd and 4th pics ;)

I was quite impressed with it myself, I even made that support bracket, looks exactly like the original (just a bit longer).

The other side of the flange doesn't look the best unfortunately, hard...

Wow, can't believe it's been over 2 years since the last update on this thread.

Unfortunately not a lot has been done to it. I still need to remove the entire rear suspension and fuel tank to...

Nice info!

Ouch! That's a lot of money for each bolt!

I get mine from here:
M8 M10 M12 M14 M16 FLANGED HEXAGON BOLTS METRIC HIGH TENSILE GRADE 10.9 SCREWS | eBay

Just make sure it's the right thread pitch

Looks like Vida is wrong for some reason.

Appears the lower bolt is 5mm longer than the top one for some reason.

Ah of course, the steering lock stop bar attaches using the caliper bolts too...

Are these the caliper bracket bolts? front or rear?

I ask as looking at the Vida it says the front caliper bolts are M12x35mm which is not what yours are there. Though it wouldn't be the first...

Sounds awesome, I need to get me a garage so I can do some big projects :)

Ah, beautiful part of the world!

Used to holiday up in Ardnamurchan and loved stopping off on the way. Some fabulous roads!

Welcome to the forum!

Nice to see it being looked after and enjoying those wonderful Scottish roads!

Where are you based?

Oh no, after all that too :(

The ostrich will fit into the 4.4 no problem.

Ditch that 4.3 and TT and run the modified 608 map from Volvospeed then you can datalog superfast

Oooh sexy

pmsl :D :D

I've bought their CV joints and boot kits for years. Cheap as chips but never any issues and for the price you can always buy another.

Ooooh, tantalising bit of info there, care to elaborate? :D

That and fuel costs not helping...

We're still here though :D

I haven't updated my project thread fore a while, though life has got in the way!

Very nice Mark :)

Why do we keep buying them?

What? you can't leave us with info like that. What happened?

At least you know now the ecus aren't at fault.

Interesting one, as Moley says, must be a bad wire somewhere.

Only one way to find out....

You said you'd tried 2 ecu's unless it fried both of them?

Guessing it maybe shorted and sent high current through the ecu.

One way to test it is to try those ecus in another Volvo...

Proper race car style! :D
