Re: LC BUMPERS
The LB rear bumper fits straight on (except for the side mounts - where you will need to make your own fixing arrangements) The front is another matter :think: The main mounting holes on the bar need to be slotted to move the bar upwards (about 10 - 15mm at most) Then the mounting panel under the gr...

Re: Power Steering
Nup !
Couldn't get a similar unit to bolt into same position
Would love power steering - I guess I'll have to "bulk up"

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.
My choices are 0 and +20 offset !
Probably 16 x 9" rear and 16 x 8" fronts
I will have some test tyres fitted up to the car and play with the offsets before I order them some time in the new year
thanks for your help Dave

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.
Thanks Dave, Offset is offset - no matter what the width :) Just remembered I'm using a Scorpion disc brake rear end which is close to 12mm wider each side ... So I think zero offset is going to be very close for the rears (14 - 12 = 2) :thumpsup: Fronts I will start with the +20 offset wheel option...

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.
Hi Dave,
So judging by the pics and this info, the aprox optimum offset would be moved 10mm to the outside.
This would mean a +14 offset wheel.
Does that sould correct ?

Re: Tyres on Scorp .Rims.
Thanks very much Dave,
Just as I thought - the inner guard will be the limiting factor !
Do you know the offset of the wheels ?

Re: My LC Lancer Hatch.....
Hi Dave,
So would 255 or 265s be a chance to fit ?
My guard lips are rolled (only about 5mm) .... but with a perfect offset ?
I'll probably try 235+ on the front of mine and it has a little neg camber too !

Thanks Dave, Yes, I would normally agree with you with my experience with "Holden's" .... but doesn't seem the case with mine at least ! I guess my query about the 4 and 9 is becoming irrelivant now - as it is not the number I will give to VicRoads or my Insurance company :think: Lindsay

Re: Help with Chassis number
Thanks Dave,
Ok, The build plate and the "strut" number match ...... but I "beg to differ" that the body/chassis serial numbers match the build plate ! (nothing even close to similar)
neither mine or Mark's match
Can you check yours for me ?

Hi all,
What is the correct procedure to adjust the Rear Brake Caliper Pistons on a GE Scorpion ?
........... or
can anyone "quote" what the service manual says in regards to this ?

Re: Voltmeter for LC Hatch ?
Thanks all + tubby,
I don't want to change the original look of the guages (I had a new electronic speedo customised to replicate the original look too).
I'll see if I can find an old pajero and research that thought !
P.S. A/F guage sounds like a cool thought btw - but not for me !
