Nice one. Just be aware that the diff drop kit is spacers only, you will still need to source longer bolts.
Transporter HQ used to supply the kit complete.

Hi Jimmy, cheers for the nice comments.
The spring spacers came from these guys in the UK about 3 years ago.

Hey mate, no I don’t have any info, can’t even find the TPI.
I can only imagine though, that yours being a single turbo will be very different to the twin turbo version that I have.
Cheers mate.
Thanks mate.
So here we go. Life hasn't stopped and I've still been "working" on the van as well as working out of it again, I quit my job at Falls Creek and am back working for myself. Although now getting...
I guess this means an update is due? haha
Update incoming!
Sunny I think you'll find that the T number refer to the GVM of each type of van, more specific to the UK as I think they charge them more for heavier vehicles.
Here in Aus I know the T32 was...
Correct, PCD is 5x120 I believe the factory T5 offset is ET55 not 51 though.
This is an absolute fallacy. Yeah they chew through tyre but it’s because the front lower control arm bushes flog out and there’s no castor adjustment in them.
Replace with aftermarket castor...
I am sure I replied to this exact same question on FB too.
I did have to drop the exhaust, tail shaft, heat shields and hand brake to get a two seater in mine.
Yes it is time consuming and even...
Awesome mate. Glad you enjoyed it. Stay tuned as I’ve got another update coming shortly.
Also any questions just ask, happy to help any way I can.

Also added these side indicator repeaters recently as well.
Finally got to getting my front engine bash plate fitted from Boos Bash Plates here in VIC.
It is a 4mm steel plate which fits perfectly using 4 of the six original mounting bolts and is rock solid....
Hey mate, yes there is one other that I know of, he’s a friend but his is a T6. Resort management also run a few for people transport around the village and to the car parks as well.
I ran out of...
Yeah timing was pretty good although lockdowns have affected us massively as well. Fresh mountain air is just a mad crazy bonus extra.
Price for the 5 wheels/tyres/nuts/caps and fitting was just...
Update Time.
So a few things have changed but not to the van so much. I scored a new full time job at Victorian Ski Resort Falls Creek so we packed up our lives in the city and moved 4 hours...
Et30 is the perfect fitment.
This is a photo of my et30 wheels with 245/65r17 tyres

yes these give the perfect poke, so sit flush to the guard very nicely.
If you are on Facebook join this group and search out Jack Raven. He has done exactly what you would like to do already and is about to head off for “a lap” again.

I bought this kit with a few extras to create a safe jacking and working platform for my raised van.
Safe Jack Bottle Jack Recovery Kit
Not cheap but solved the issue.
Try Baytech Automotive in Cheltenham, they may be willing to help?
Hey mate, no these wheels do not need an adapter ring. The centre bore is the right size for the hub.
Update time.
Recently I've fitted a few more items, replacing ones I had originally and some new.
1st up is a new UHF aerial bracket I fabbed up so I can get rid of the fold over bracket. Nice...
Thanks Carl and sorry for the late reply. Yes I did get the big tyres on and yes they rub, had to do a fair bit of 'clearance work' to make them fit. See below for an update.
