Oh that sort, sorry i though you where meaning hangers, my bad!!!!! I never heard how he got on with those, sounds like they are still going well. I would love to but i've got no measurements nor the time and supplies to do them. I'll ask a mate of mine in nz who got a set, i don't know if he ever ended up using them, might be able to do a deal? ? If you have a look on the web there are a few places that do them, mostly in oz. I guy in my local cub back home imported a set of those extending rotating ones for about $450, they are good but for the bulk of them and for the litttle amount they rotated i don't think they are worth it. I would try to get a set like mine and use rubber bushes, even flog them out a little with a drill or pencil grinder. Less moving parts, easier to fit and not as many bangs. |

If that was the set I got off you I dont have them any more. They didnt fit the bighorn without removeing a bracket from the chassis first but this bracket holds the towbar. Such is life. Harry Vanlet now has them. They were very well made.
Hows Aus? I trust you have an Isuzu based 4wd still

Hey Pissy, they are legal in nz as long as they are pinned on the road.
Hi geeves,
thats a shame they didn't fit.
Aus is not bad, bit warm up this way, will never be home though. I wish i could say yes but at the mo there is no 4wd, just a Kia rio, its a nana car but it was cheap enough for brand new and does the job.

They say you get used to the heat eventually but Im not convinced just yet. Im sure you will find a use at work for a ute soon enough then a Rodeo can join the Rio.
good luck over there.
ps you need to update your profile

I don't think I'll ever get used to the heat!!!
A ute would be great, but not much call for one in an office unfortunately!!!

hey Holden, had a chat to my mate, he's not letting them go any time soon, recons he could have sold another 2 or 3 pairs of them too!!!
If you can wait a couple of years then i might be able to make you some ;D
Good luck looking.
