Good info on fitting the Willwood and Castlemaine Rod shop gear Sam. I basically decided to have a drinking game but I was basically pissed basically 2 minutes in so I basically had to re watch it again later.😂
Hey mate, I never post on UA-cam comments but this deserves one. You literally saved my arse Cobba!! I, like you got all the gear off RodShop. Doing a HZ Ute build. Just put in the coil overs two days ago. Had a bit of a search on the brake side of things.After watching your vid realised I didn’t put the collets (?) in the rubbers of the upper and lower shock mounts.... Farrkkkk, lucky! Was a bloody mission getting them off again as I lock tighten them. Was hard work... So, thanks for saving me mate. Looks awesome, is that Chassis 2pack? I will be following your build from now on 😁👍
Hey Mate glad the video helped. I actually done the same thing but I realised before I bolted the coil over into the coil pocket. So it can be easily done. Other than that did you find the tubular control arm kit and the brake kit easy enough to install? I found it was really easy once you get the first side done. The chassis is coated in KBS chassis coater. Seems to be a good coating so far. Thanks for following the build and glad the video helped you once again.
My mate fitted a ‘Blacks Rack’ rack and pinion Kit many years ago and it drove so much better. I think the Rod Shop have a version of a rack and pinion kit available that is very similar. I reckon for all the time, effort and money you have spent already, going rack and pinion would complement the new front suspension and bracket setup. Great job so far. 👍🏻
Thanks Big Al. I see the blacks racks one and they a little bit more than the castlemaine ones. I was looking at buying the CRS one but they are currently out of stock for a while. I think you are right but. Will defs compliment everything else.
Mate, that looks freakin awesome!! This aint no budget build. Think my 1 tonner will be similar but I have a few different ideas in mind. Can't wait to see this finished!
Loving your build ,, got a question, when cuting out the locating tab ,, you dont go flush with the chassis on both sides in the pocket? You only trim it back flush with the upper coil mount only , but clearly do the left and right side of chassis .
Hi mate, I've got the same setup and have used the Mcdonald Bros Rack kit. Looks awesome and works a treat. Very easy install and you can get good money for your old power steering setup. I'll send you a pic if you like?
Hey Mate I did not know that Mcdonalds made a Rack kit? When did you purchase this as I cant seem to find it on there website? Yes a pic would be appreciated
looking good mate, Question? no steering bar? (to stop the disk from hitting the A arm) and do you have any side ways movement on either of your top A arms?? P.S. have a WB Panno and have gone for the bolt on rack and pinion.
Im looking to get the brake kit but install some lowering coil springs from suspension megastore. Will the brakes still be compatible? I’m new into this and am looking for some further guidance
Hey Mate. The spacers are definitely there. I think you maybe looking between the caliper and the adapter plate and not between the adapter plate and the spindle. I found a split second where you can still see the spacers.
@@ShenkeGarage Yep you're right lol. I was looking at them and wondered why they didn't machine a step in the adaptor. Overall all the stuff looked like it went together easily enough with good tolerances. I'm watching some of your other vids about the benches in the shed, some good ideas there.

Hahahahaha yeah my later videos you won't get so drunk 😂 the problem is you stop trying to say 1 word but substitute it with another ha.
Just thought I’d do a quick comment to say this video made putting the Wilwoods on my WB so much easier - thanks
Hey Buddy. Glad that the video helped.
It's good to see new parts coming in.

Very nice kit. Looks the biz.
Ive fitted the power rack kit to a customers car and it was fabulous. so much better than the original setup .
Thanks for the feedback mate. I did actually order one about a month ago so waiting for it it arrive.

Nice job as always Sam.
Had to laugh, “Wank factor for the video...... bit of a dick wave there” lol gold.
Haha thanks Carl. Sometimes just gotta wave that dick.
Very nicely done Sam.
Great video glad you explained how to do everything well done
Thanks Mate. Could not really find anything on youtube on how to fit these so thats why I made it reasonably comprehensive.
Shenke Garage yeah you did a great job I really like the in depth videos like this. Very good video 👍🏼
Thankyou once again
Nice Mate, I'm waiting on the wilwood kit from The Rod Shop at the moment, looks very nice.
Its a good kit and I think the cost is reasonable. I will be looking forward to testing them out.
Looks mad . Nice work mate
Thank you! Cheers!
Just what i was looking for. Doing it on my XW perfect mate legend
Thanks for watching and glad you got some value from it.
Mate, that looks freakin awesome!! This aint no budget build. Think my 1 tonner will be similar but I have a few different ideas in mind. Can't wait to see this finished!
Thanks Mate. Haha yeah budget went out the window for sure. I dont think its money wasted on these Icons. What engine you going with?
@@ShenkeGarage I don't have a budget with mine, it will be finished when im happy with it.
Shenke Garage have a 4 bolt 350 in another car I’ll poke in the 1 tonner. Alloy heads. Needs a freshen up, cam and carby. Should do the job.

Lovin The stop motion, also, is that my bahco shifter? Lol, good vids mate
Haha cheers man. Haha could be but I do remember coming to site with bahco shifters.
Hey mate nice vid. Looking at ordering the tubular control arm kit for my panelvan. How do you find the viking shocks for road use? Cheers 🍻
Job well done mate
Thanks heaps Man

check out Curlys rod and customs/ Southern chassis works, front end with rack n pinion. great videos by the way
Thanks Mate
Good work, go electric steering conversion! can't beat that setup
Thanks for the heads up will have to look into that.
Im looking to get the brake kit but install some lowering coil springs from suspension megastore. Will the brakes still be compatible? I’m new into this and am looking for some further guidance
Hey mate the wilwood brake kit is compatable with standard springs. It just mounts to existing spindle. Comes with the adapter.
Hey mate what size rotors did you end up opting for?
Hey Mate I believe from memory 320mm
Nice one mate was hoping I’d be able too get away with the 320mm and 15s
I noticed that you mentioned putting in the spacers between the mounting bracket and the spindle @ 17:30 yet @ 18:06 it looks like you deleted them?
Hey Mate. The spacers are definitely there. I think you maybe looking between the caliper and the adapter plate and not between the adapter plate and the spindle. I found a split second where you can still see the spacers.

@@wobblyplanks Yeah the kit went together really well. Had no issues with the brakes or control arms. Thanks for watching the videos.
Car pornography lol
Thanks champ
No dramas at all
