I fitted my new front beam yesterday, its taken my wheel base from being 3inches out to 1.5 inches out...any ideas??

the new beam hasnt come with any grease nipples and the ones from the old beam dont fit, anybody now where i can get these from? and how much grese do i actually have to put in the beam? is there an easy way to do it?

cheers.

its a lowered beam (sway ways), i measured the wheelbase from the centre of the front hb to the centre of the back the one side was 8ft dead the other was 1.5 inches larger after fitting the new beam, it was 3 inches befor.

the grease nipples won't fit 'till you run a tap through the holes. theyre a tiny bit smaller than they need to be
