@Aceman thats why @GazHyde moved to a bigger engine and bigger boot. He can get more in when the deals are on.. and also store all his junk in the trunk..

There should be more here, but one delivery was late. Oil change Saturday!

For @Shortie_gal's Vixen. Oil and filter change.
For @pgunter. Oil and filter. Diff & Gearbox
For Gaz. Oil, filter and plugs.
For @Oldguysrule. Nothing, because it was his delivery that was late :ymdevil:

A rare sight... (where the magic happens).

Right, further to the 12 tonne press. I've machined a puck to help push out the old bushes square. I used a Powerflex bushe for size and took 0.5 off the OD to make it a better fit.

We have @ZTec dropping his zed in this weekend so he will be the first to test it on. If all being good we can do a 1 day turn around on subframes :p

Nice bit of maching, do you have a cup for the bottom of the beam to allow the old one to pass through or are you just resting on the press?

I have a pair of parallel bars to sit it on. I see what you mean though, I keep thinking it over, It will be supported on one side and only the lip on the other. Will see how much force is actually needed.
