B4 Donor Parts for an X6*²

[Kecky]

Which B4 parts are now required for an x6²?
Or.....which parts now don't you need, that you did need to build an X6?
I don't want to break my B4 unless i really need to and i was going to upgrade to lunsford turnbuckles, ghea front bulkhead, k-factory shock tower etc anyway.

You need all the gear box internals, rear hubs, driveshafts all the steering parts, front wishbones & hubs of the top of my head!

Complete front end of car, literally unbolted off the B4 and onto the X6, all the sticking out bits at the back, except for wishbones, all the gearbox internals. You might find it's bits like odd screws and stuff that gets annoying not to have, although what I would suggest is buy the X6 torx screw set as it really is the bollox. it doesn't have every single screw in it though, no little hinge pin retaining screws or shock top bolts I don't think.

can you only buy them from x factory direct? they are on back order now and do you know what size torx driver you would need ?

Jono,
No they are for sael over here too and listed on the X-Factory UK website in the DDP section and in stock her ein the UK.

All of our X-factory dealers should be able to help you our with these including oursleves.

The two torx sizes needed on the drivers are the T8 and T10 which are both also available in the DDP range.

Back on topic for a second, the X - 6 Squared uses exactly the same parts from the B4 as the original X - 6. We didn't have to touch that section of the manual.

And the torx screws are indeed super-dialed. We're out of most of them ATM, though most U.K. X-shops have them or should have them. We're onto a new supplier and hope to have full stocks again soon.
