    Drilling one of Pressbrakes x-members

    Oh right, didn't know about that, here is a link for anyone else that wants a look; Rotabroach magnetic drills and Rotabroach cutters. So I'm guessing those will fit a regular drill then, and that the hole/drill bit would still need to be lubricated whilst cutting? Cheers for that...

    Yeah, sent a picture, but like I said the holes aren't in the usual places, and if I had sent the dimensions either of us would have only had to have been a mm out and it wouldn't have fitted. I've not seen this towing bracket on a landy before, its either old military, or DIY'd.

    New wheels, are they off set?

    Yeah I thought so, the other thing making me think that is they stick out a bit from the arches. Not to worry, I wanted a wheel with a negative offset anyway, but I couldn't find less then negative 35 which I thought would be too much, so I went for what I thought was zero offset. Everyones a...

    New wheels, are they off set?

    Hello. I bought these the other week, 16x8 265 75 16 Do these rims look offset? I don't mind if they are, just curious. The guy at the shop said they were zero offset, but they look like they have a slight negative offset to me. Ta
