Default HB D4 new build 'A nice Touch'

got my kit yesterday and spent the evening and early hours (4am) of this morning part assembling it. Just have the diffs/shocks to do.

Anyhows in the box were 2 x diff rebuild/maintenance kits aswell as the normal parts in the bags.. A really nice touch!!

Quick Q though: would it be better to use the bagged screws (black) or the screws in the maintenance kit (Silver)?

Use the silver screws, they are the new stronger ones

Nice build isn't it?

Go with the silver screws mate, they're most probably the upgraded ones.
Get a pic up of it when she's finished

getting different caster options in the box is a nice touch as well, unless you are a bit dim like me and drive about with a 7 degree on the left and a 10 degree on the right and not notice, for months.

been down the parents in Haverfordwest all day today and wedding planning with the father in law to be in Newport tomorrow.. guess the final touches are to be done when they can be fitted in.

Thanks for the advise re the diff screw. Say one thing though this is the 2nd kit I've built in the space of 2 weeks; other was an Associated T4, quite a difference in the quality of the materials used and much nicer to assemble!!
