My thoughts exactly Reid.

How much for a pair of adaptors?

I wont be going down the IRS path, mine is a fair dinkum English imported camper and I'm going to tow when I travel. I've seen what happens to the arse-end of Commodores when they tow and what happens after.

Live axles for me!

I am in the process of making another Adapter set to work out a price, unfortunately I am also packing to move house so there will be a delay for reply and final cost.
 I will gladly sell them once I have time to set up in my new digs and finalised machining costs.
They will be sold as a pair and will not come with Engineering report as my Engineer states there is no control to the individual fitment of this product so certification will not be supplied.
Basically if you buy a set it is at your own risk and I will not be held responsible for the fitment or any failure that may result from using this product. Legal crap aside I will be testing out mine to the max soon as the old girl gets back on the road.
The instalation of these Adapters is very straight forward, hardest part is feeling confident to cut the end off the Stub axle, once done there is obviously no turning back so please think hard, measure twice and be sure if you choose to go down this path.
I will send an asembled set up if you purchase so you will not have to cut Stubs but these will be replacement and you would have to send uncut stubs back to me for the next set required, treat as an exchange stub, if you bolt on adapter set and are not happy you can put your old stubs back on and return the set I send you.
Using these adapters will lower your front 35mm without any changes to original steering or suspension.
I will soon be living in Baldivis (Perth) and if any members from Perth are keen to check out these mods in person I am available May 1st till 5th in Pinjarra or can have a Gathering around the end of June at my place in Baldivis for a closer look.
Please let me know if you are interested in a visit as I am very Busy at the moment, either contact via this forum or email me          v6trike01@bigpond.com

Sorry no update at this stage I have not been well.
Before I was laid up I did complete the Brake adapter set up on my LWB and took for a good blast, such a nice feeling to know you can stop when required, also managed to remove rear coil springs from VY IRS I fitted and replaced with airbags, excellent ride and easy to adjust ride height.Will get more info when I can.
cheers Rogerfied
