Finally at the point where I can start putting parts back on the car. All of the parts that were removed (wishbones etc) have been powder coated and new springs and shocks have been purchased.
Powder coated parts and new shocks
I also decided to replace nuts and bolts where replacements can be found. As usual Appleyards came up with the goods and an Imperial Assorted Garage Pack of nuts, bolts and washers in various sizes was sourced as well as various non standard bolts. Not all of the bolts could be found so the old ones were scrubbed and the threads cleaned.
Before each part is put back on the car the holes and threads need to have the powder coating removed. To confirm each hole and thread is ready I did a test build of the part on the bench.
Lower wishbone
The lower wishbone is now back on. Next is the upper wishbone assembly and vertical link. Then the dreaded spring and spring pan. I am not looking forward to that bit at all.
