Yeah they look pretty neat Blacky and you can't really tell unless you were one of us that they have been spread.

I thought they were all solid axle up to VR/VS didn't know that was an option.
So got into the workshop yesterday morning to dummy fit the cradle so that I can finish of that part of the rear.
Removed the bump stops and shocky mounts. Free if anybody needs them

Cut out the area I thought that I would need to remove, didn't really lose much of the tank area.

After a bit of struggle seeing I'm by myself ( need to train the son in laws ) I was able to get the cradle under the wagon and using a jack and some racket straps pull it up into place, not sure if I needed to remove the old shocky plates but better to have some clearance I suppose.

Now to remove it and box in the back seat and rear areas, I've come to the conclusion that I have enough on my plate and am going to give the tubbing a miss that is unless I can get a Club tubbing class day in my workshop hint hint Blacky when you get back

This is what the suspension should look like when I put it together before it goes in.
The photo is a V6 Conversion photo my suspension does not have the alloy upper arms.
