Surly they came with instructions, well its obvious that starting from the left, piece 2 clips into 1 and has the ability to spin round 180 degrees.... Piece 3 looks like the main part but how that fits in with the first 2 pieces is hard to tell by your photo as it looks like the last piece is upside down.   :huh:

This.

Go get some wood blocks.

Much better than bricks as they don't crack up and shatter under pressure.

Only pikeys use bricks under cars.  :rolleyes:
Just because you're offended doesn't make you right.

theres 2 chucks there, one seperate, one complete, choose how you want/need to use them, either either side of one wheel, or both in front or behind of either front or rear wheels, your option are endless, although ive said all what can be done with them  :grin:

on another note, theres nowt wrong with using wood, or bricks from your parents 'feature wall'  :rolleyes:

Try closing your eyes and rubbing them together whilst wispering chocks three times. If that doesn't work I'm all out of ideas.
