Brumby Radius Rods..

i've just installed a 2" lift on my brumby, and alternately to cutting my guards i am going to get/make longer radius rods to move the front wheels forward enough to clear..

is there an easy fit option i can use that are about an inch longer or is it easier to get a mate to cut and extend the existing rods?

I'm looking at getting longer rods myself, getting custom adjustable ones made up soon. I'm a little worried about the LCA bushes though...

Are L-Series ones any longer? ?

I have used an L in an emergency so they fit and seem to drive ok, but they are either a bit longer or a bit shorter.Welding steering/suspension bits is not permitted unles signed off by an engineer maybe ?

i like the 2nd option, seems fairly easy and uncomplicated.. i'll have to have a look at how much thread i have to play with

I've used spacers, small is ok, once they get big the bolt hole alignment is way out.
That was enough to stop my wheels hitting.

the only problem i may have.. my radius rods appear to have a slight bend in them, so i'm not sure if they are original.. will have to take one out and have a look
