Something went wrong though, as there is at least 4" between the axle and bump stops


But won't that make it more drive able? Where's the fun in that ;)

Yeah, i know it should be on the bump stops for the most fun ;)

They go straight on a P5B axle, and i,m lead to believe they fit straight on a Commer :)
I,m putting lots of pics on to make it a bit easier to understand ;)

Nice axle set up by the way;)
Ive got me a p5b axle for mine but recon I will have to narrow the axle and shorten the shafts to get my wheels back in the arches;)

You sure will Jon :) the P5B axle is 1517mm - 59.62" wide, that,s 2.5 " wider than the Commer one. The interceptor wheels have 1.5" more offset as well. So in total it,s 5.5" wider, which is great for stability and handling, just not so good when you need to take a wheel off :I.
This set up only just fits even with a little trimming of the inner sill ledge ;)

Note the waisted stem and the 30 degree backcut on the seat, much better flow than STD :p
