the AFH mk1-3 guide on FAQ section.

dont see ARBs come up for sale often but you could scrappy hunt. i dont know if a mk3 one would fit, but i can see no reason why not.

cool man ill have a look out then :)

picked up some vwII caliper from a 6n for £15

also spent some well earned dollar in GSF on:

brembo vented and grooved discs

greenstuff pads

goodridge braded hoses

new top mounts

a new track rod end as it was knackered

2 new bottom arms

need to get 2 front bearings and 2 new hubs, as i have got everything else new so i thought why not! :)

also got some coilovers of ebay :)

Are you after a 5spd ARB chief? I have one going

And regarding some of your questions above;

Some late mk2s were fitted with 5spd ARBs as standard. Yours won't have

Your fuel system will be fine, but you will need to sort a pump as your's is driven by the cam

You need the blue oil sensor, but just earth the yellow one (high pressure) or the buzzer goes off

You shouldn't need new hubs mate as they don't wear. I'm not even sure you can buy them

GSF do them for £21 each i think it was.. so i will prob get them :) i have a facet solid fuel pump.. so the standard 6mm lines will be ok, dont need to upgrade to 8mm ones?

from what i can work out my car currently only has one oil sensor.. any knowledge on this (its an early 1.1 mechanical head)

Have you got a picture of your oil sensor wiring? I had a mech head in mine. But forgot to take pictures

Gsf do hubs? I really dont see why you'd need them, but it's up to you. When I has mine apart, they were totally fine. Your fuel lines will be fine yes

If your after an ARB, let mr know

yeh man picking up the new hubs and bearings tomorrow! hopefully my coilovers will be here too :)

how much you want for the ARB matey? :)

That looks great! Proper classic and retro

Pm me about ARB chief
