Hi chaps i'm it a bit of a dilemma, can anyone tell me how do you get round the problem of drilling out the taper on the sierra front hub to take the maxi ball joint, also any idear where i can get a new set of rear sierra driveshaft gaiter's (not universial part or split type) proper one's cheers any idear Regards BILL

Darren at GTS Tuning would probably do this for you. He's between Ramsgate and Canterbury.

Best would be to arrange to take them down and have them done while you wait

don't know about the hubs but you can still get CV gaiters from Ford.

Thanks guys thats a great help.

Darren at GTS is in LongField, so its actually only 5 mins down the road from you.

best go there in person.

His workshop is behind a car showroom, opposite the petrol station on the high street.

Thats what i call service cheers your right he is about 5 mins away i will pop down and see him thanks again.

just beware with the CV kits as there are two sizesdepending on your driveshaft type.
both are available from Ford dealers

actually, according to the website he has moved...

so he is not in Longfield any more.

That's why I said he was between Ramsgate and Canterbury
