Wanted Air Conditioning System, 2x Speedline Wheels & Others

Post by David »

(See latest post)
Hi All, I know I have only recently joined & haven't given much useful information to help other members yet, However I'm looking for a few parts for my good old BX Meteor.

I know some of these might not be too easy to come across, but I will put the list up now so some can hopefully be located in due time.

I will start with the easier ones to come across:

- Silver front bumper off a hatchback model.

- Right front wing, again in silver & if possible with the meteor stripes on it.

Please don't start laughing here.

-Full Air conditioning system. (Or at least some information of what parts will fit out off other cars).

I am unemployed at the moment so cannot give a fortune for the parts, however I have some bits I would be willing to trade (especially with regards to the A/C system).

Also I am located in Manchester.

Thanks & regards, David.

Hi, Thanks for getting in touch. Could you keep me posted if it does get broken. Also where is it located?

Also forgot to mention; I'm also looking for a GTi speedline alloy wheel. I have 3 but need 1 more for a full set...

Thanks again.

Hi, Thanks for your reply; I'm not sure what size they are (where is it stamped on the wheel & I'll look) & the colour is silver.

If you look on the outward face, where the indent thats round the circumference of the wheel, it will be marked. Not sure if that made sense?

Probably worth checking all of them, just incase someone in the past has fitted different sized one's, can't imagine it'd make that much difference, but probably better to have matching axle sets as a worst case scenario.

Hi, You were right - 2 of them are 5.5J & the 3rd is 6J. What is the difference between 5.5J & 6J?

Thanks again.

About 1/2" I think, but I'm not sure how it alters the offset.

If ET is the same, the drive will be just wider than the one and the other side for a quarter of an inch.

Hi again, Thanks for the replies. Would fitting 2x 5.5J wheels & 2x 6J wheels work OK with the 4x4 transfer box on my car? (I assume so if their just wider but looking for a second opinion).

Also on the subject would I need 4 tyres exactly the same size & would it upset the transfer box if I put 2 smaller ones on the front or rear?

Hmm, with 4x4 transfer box's being notorious for going pop, i wouldn't take the risk with 2 different matching axle sets tbh. The 6j's are wider, so will weigh more, but by how much who knows. I also don't think it would be a good idea to fit different sized tyres either, the car was never designed that way, all of these things could cause problems with handling, stress on the box, different levels of grip etc...safer just to get 4 matching wheels & tyres.

Hi, I didn't think it would be a good idea on the tyres - I was just running it by to see what others thought whilest on the subject.

On the wheels; IF they are just wider & not higher, then I can't see why it would cause any problems as it wouldn't spin 1 axle more than the other.

Will be no problem, you can safely put these two pairs of disks, only provided that they are the same tires - the width and height of the profile. The difference in weight from them miserable.
