Harry Flatters Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 I don't know about live axle but the de dion install is failry straightforward but can be a bit fiddly as you need to drop the rear shockers from their top mountings in order to get the two half-height-head fixing bolts up from underneath. I bottled it and got those nice chaps at Redline to do it for me - painless and relatively cheap. They also fitted the new boot cover - the old standard one doen't fit. arrow.gifarrow.gifHarry Flattersarrow.gifarrow.gifthumbsup.gif AKA Steve Mell id=green> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Well, I have just got back to work from collecting mine, if all goes according to plan I'll let you know on Monday how it all went. Jimbo PS - I'd avoid Caterham today. The road up from the M25 was closed and it was traffic chaos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anthony Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Hi, mine one was a major problem to fit and took hours of fettling as the posts which fit into the appetures were not quite the right angle. If it does not fit pretty well first time, take it back ! best regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Gillet Posted July 8, 2002 Share Posted July 8, 2002 Well I did it myself 3 weeks ago. Easy. The longer part was to find the allen kee in inches necessary to release the upper end of the shocks, and to install the poppers of the new boot cover.
