The outriggers can be changed without a body lift even on a 400SE although normal practice would be to lift the body. There is a way however it can be done.

Yeah I was thinking about this the other day - do you have more details on the technique Tony? Mine are OK at the moment but I forsee the day when they will need to be done - you just can't get to all of them to stop the rot.

Someone a little while back posted a picture of the outriggers being changed on a 400/450SE with the body in situ. I think the trick is to cut off the outriggers further near the central chassis, then fabricate a copy and weld it on at the cut off points.

It's off again - listed as no longer available. I wonder if he got a bite at £4.5k?

Yeah, I saw that it had been removed. I still see something fishy with this, it sold in NOV 2016 for 3.5k and the winner never contacted the seller. It sold again for 3.7k on Friday evening. Then went back up as a classified ad on Saturday morning for 4.5k. I messaged the seller and he stated he thought it was worth 3.5k, I think the general consensus is that the car in that state was not worth 3.5k. So why has it not passed hands?? Maybe the new owner will show up on here soon enough...
