18z caliper are direct bolt on. Just need the correct bolts and some discs of merecedes ml 350mm you will also need to change hoses so a good time to upgrade to braided hoses.

Watts linkage is now all painted and finished. Also poly bushed leaf springs and shackle bushes.
This has made a huge difference the the handling axle is now solid.

We custom made it all ourselves.

It basically limits the side to side movement of the axle.

No sorry I wouldn’t have time or be worth while doing. My original plan was to turret the rear end and do away with the axle all together and have it fully Independant, but funds did not allow this

Converted the van to studs, should make taking wheels on and off with spacers easier!

Also looking at tubular front control arms, with a raised tubular subframe. I think this would aid front end traction a lot with hard cornering and braking.

What about the super pro alloy arms ? Mind you that would mean a new sub frame ?
