Got a back box on order (sebring 6x4 should be a direct fit) just wondering if theres anything else i should buy ready for when i fit it.

Do i need a new clamp, hangers, rubbers etc ?

Your old rubbers should be fine maybe a new clamp althought i can't renember if i used the old one or if one was supplied, i think you get one with it actually.

if your old rubbers are cracked/persished replace them
there only a few quid and may mean the difference between a good fit and one that rattles of the back axel

get a clamp if your is corroded or generally looks past it,
you may need a wire brush to clean up the rear part of the old centre section to get a good seal.

if the old back box proves difficult to remove i have found in every single case a blow torch a big help, and a block of wood on the back-box and hit it with a hammer "wood spread the load and help remove it faster"
