Thanks CMM303 for the thread on removing rear heater unit it worked a treat unit now out air con pipes welded and tested water pipes fitted with blanking kit thank you very much.

Just to let every body know I got my rear shocker bracket sorted took it to a Engineering Company they built bracket up and re-threaded now all is ok.

I have found out you can not buy rear shocker brackets you have to buy full number 5 rear cross member which has rear shocker hanging brackets welded to it.

cheers Mike

I have checked lushprojects.com they show the nut & washers but not the upper hanger its looking like I might have to get one made.

I will try and get a picture image of part I need as soon as I can get into a garage and get it up on the ramps

Is it possible to take the rear heater unit out as it will never be used when my new side units go in also it would be less pipe work to look after.

I have tested the led lights they are ok
checked about 12 inches of cable that comes through the rear of roof no breaks any ideas.
the back light ...
