Deere-est Posted November 20, 2006 Author Share Posted November 20, 2006 Cheers Chaps, nice words. Brian, the wheels are Siku but I dont know what they are off.Going to see farmmodels tomorrow to get another pair, I'll ask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FB Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 LOOKING GOOD TRIS, SO GOOD I FORGOT TO TURN THE CAPS LOCK OFF AGAIN :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Honest opinions lads, just trying it for size while I wait for Brian to get back to me via PM. If I go ahead and fit this I will have to come up with a plan for the cab-over deck as this sits three cm's higher-ish than the Britians counterpart. I was worried this hung over the width of the axle too much so have a look and let me know please guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nashmach Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Think it's okay Tris you could put wider wheels on it or space them a bit more though couldn't you - the MAN would look class though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 I did just think supersingles of some kind, on these rims because in all fairness, the hub is the most protruding part and it isn't fr off the same width as the arches. Ooooooooh decisions, the more I look at it the more I think it looks ok though!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
THEBRITFARMER Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Looks okay to me Tris, will look even better when it's unloading at my farm :D :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JC Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 That don't look too bad Tris, *** some bigger wheels on the front and give it a 10T axle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted November 22, 2006 Author Share Posted November 22, 2006 Well as soon as Marky's bodies turn up and I have them dry fitted I will try and work them in with each other. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finn Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Tris...maybe space them a little bit. Fairly easy with a longer axle and some small diameter styrene tube. Super singles (or floatation tires) would look good too. I thought I had a better picture... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Ferguson Posted December 3, 2006 Share Posted December 3, 2006 Thats it then. Shesa goin on!! I'll worry about wheels on another day. Thanks guys. Does that mean we need a "modified" body spec now Tris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Does that mean we need a "modified" body spec now Tris Not for a minute, I will make one body from the two you sent (width is fine, length is short) then use it as a template for another one in the future me thinks mate.

Deere-est Posted December 3, 2006 Author Share Posted December 3, 2006 Probably could but thought I'd do it properly, it will have wooden planking on anyway so it isn't like it will be seen but it's one of those "I'll know it isn't right" jobbies. \ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
