Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Having larger tyres, reduces the turning circle, so I thought, longer studs and a 10mm spacer would improve things. Now 2cv wheels studs are different (!) they have a 16mm shoulder, so tried to find some with a 16mm shoulder, no luck. But an enquiry to a firm that makes studs, came back with a Quote of £11.25p Each! excluding shipping and vat . Peugeot wheel bolts are the same thread as the 2cv, so bit of work in the lathe and there we go £2.05p delivered. some pics... Bolt Before. Attachment:

Re: Make Your Own ....2CV.... 4x4 Back in the dry and warm garage, but not a lot of space to do work. Major jobs to be done. Weld prop shaft Tunnel. Make an exhaust system. Weld the rear floors. Fit fuel tank securely. Connect up the suspension pump pipes and wiring. Wiring to make it run. Solve the brake master cylinder ISSUE????. Then TEST it
