Steering lock sorted by JDI Fabrication. ---------- Post added 13-04-13 at 19:45 ---------- Dont fret over the watts link being crooked but i still need to make some shorter arms. Coilovers are in and have a real nice action. Diff is now a full spool sporting moser 31 spline axles. Brand new tailshaft too.
