    Sorry, i know this is a tec question but you guys are the best (slurp, slurp!) My rear spacers have arrived just now from Hills but the torque setting recomends are in lbs per foot but i need it in metric mesurements as I'm in Italy and they don't understand that! What does 79-86lb-ft equate to ??
    Thanking you kindly
    Steve

    Cheers mate, only thing was after i started the job the torque wrench gauge broke! So i had to just do it by hand!!! I'll get them checked asap. I smeared the threads with thread lock so should be ok. One other strange thing, no one sells copper grease here they just use an aerosol heat rated grease, the guy in the parts shop said it will do the job but I'm not convinced. I am very happy with the way the spacers look but I didn't get to drive it last night so I'm going to finish this cup of tea and go for a quick test... I bought the billet alloy dial bezels also and they spruce up the interior no end, much more than I thought, highly reccomend them, wish I had done these mods years ago!

    I knew you'd say that! My Camera is rubbish! I'll try, drove the car yesterday but only 30klms. Took it upto 150kph but to be honest i couldn't tell if felt better or it was a placibo effect and I was convincing myself it was better! Typically I have the whole day free today and it's pi****g down outside with no chance of clearing.So further testing is on hold, it's not that i won't get the car wet, just that it's hard to concentrate on driving while holding a towl upto the targa roof!!!

    Moisture is important for the longevity of the fine italian leahter interior. A TS helps provide that, involuntarily.
