So... It's been a while !
Work, sport, other and other priorities took over the project for a few weeks but it's not bad. Nothing such as a little break to find yourself with fresh motivation !
Remember on one of the previous episodes I had rebuild the rear spring and used tge teflon spacers. It looks like they will work great but they end up raising the height of the spring. That plus in an effort to get the stance and supension working right I decided to add spacers.
Sounds easy enough. Had the spacers fabricated out of aluminum (free favour wouou) to find out that the holes were drilled on the wrong side. No biggie i added 2 holes in each to find out the sapcers dont fit right with the studs in. Starting to get annoying, fine i ll sand and file the spacers till it fits, to find out i need longer studs.
Cant find these anywhere, found the trick online that you can use engine head studs. Grrr ok i ll take these from my parts car.... Of course they were rusted solid in there and each one had to be heated up to be removed !
So... Not such an easy job in the end but a good thing done. Well now i pray that with the weight of the car the stance will be just right.
A photo of the spacers in place for your viewing pleasure below.
See you soon.
