In a few words i don't think so Sad

the running gear is very similarbut not the same and id be very suprised if it did fit,especially seeing as the paj/shogun one is very differently shaped as it dives up and over the rear axle,so id be suprised to say the least,hope that helps have you tried milners per chance for one? www.milneroffroad.com id imagine they may be able to tell you if it will fit and also if they can get the Delica one as well,hope that helps atb

good news for me i have been and seen the experts today and he said it is near enough identical to the shogun exhaust the only differance is that the bend is slightly different (not a lot) going over the back axel but it will fit so it is booked in for next Tuesday to be fitted full length stainless system Laughing

Easy way is to check the gap between the side door shut line and the rear wheel arch. If there's only about an inch, it will be the Swb but if there's about 8-9"s then it will be the Lwb. The Lwb also has about 8-9"s more behind the rear wheels as well making it about 18" or 500mm longer. All dimentions are approx

You can make anything fit if you try hard enough Laughing

Its the back end bit that I thought would be a problem, the way it twists and turns :?

Another easy way of spotting a LWB model is the passenger side windows are about the same size as each other Wink

Editted to make more sense Laughing

Ha ha, Beat's yer man there Mr Wizard Wink

But there must be shallow fitting 6x9s that'll fit. Either that or it's out with the MDF etc... Take a look in the ICE section or Useful links for some ICE websites which I know have been posted.

These are the speakers I have fitted in my Deli.

In the back, not much to look at but can handle the power Wink

To be found here>>> http://www.caraudiocentre.co.uk/product.asp?product=18847

Although I feel the frount speakers are the ones that should be quality Wink

To be found here>>> http://www.caraudiodiscount.com/acatalog/focal_polyglass_v2_component.html

I run these speakers but please bear in mind, most of the bass is from the sub, the Deli' panels tend to rattle with the bass from the rear speakers because of the lack of room behind them Rolling Eyes

What are you using to get the bush back in, I've got one on mine to do tomorrow, may take it to the garage instead.
I've got to take the Deli' back to the garage as I've just had all the front aligned, (tracking, camber and castor) and they didn't spot the worn bush Rolling Eyes

not going to repay to have that lot done again Evil or Very Mad

Was thinking about using a void bush tool or making a compression tool up, (Blue Peter style Laughing

)

Out of interest how much did the bush cost?
Mine was £22 including VAT and delivery :|

Hope you get it sorted Wink

Another way to spot the LWB is the chassis number begins "PF"
