So I got the new radius arm installed today without too much difficulty. All my measurements were spot on except for a little filing on the one bracket to clear the damper bracket. I also spaced the axle forward. Ill post some better pics tomorrow. Very chuffed that it all worked out.

Couple of teaser pics. Not too bad for a patrol running standard GU coils, gabriel shocks and 31" AT tyres. No odd handling at speed or when braking.

Theuhan, mine is a GR TD42. I need to make a couple of small changes to the design to make the installation simpler (I needed to file the one bracket slightly). As soon as I have updated the drawings they will be available to forum members. Total cost was just under R4500 including new nissan bushes. I got quoted over R9000 to import one from AUS.

Peter, the one bracket on the drivers side will need to be modified due to the diff.
