Condolences Dano and sorry for your loss. I think it'd be a fitting memory to your dad to get the bike back to it's former glory and have a blast on it for your old man.
So the car went to Chris' unit last weekend.
Garage is a bit emptier now. Pile of crap to make it look not so empty...
As of now, Chris has racked in the main hoop, main legs (a pillar), screen bar, the 2 rear downward bars, and rear strut top collars. Photos courtesy of Chris.
Custom...
Nope. Me and a mate changed the rear beam bushes on mine recently. The worst bits were the brake lines, as the unions tend to turn to cheese. A proper set of brake flared spanners would've been ideal!
Re: the nuts holding the beam to the chassis. The tops of the bolts are inside the car and can spin. If they do, you'll need a mate with a pair of mole grips to hold them from inside the car.
Plenty of penetration fluid on them beforehand as well.
@RyG I'm looking at a snap-off boss (purely because I've found it a bit of a squeeze getting my delicious derriere into the bucket seat with the wheel on).
Snap-off boss' include: Sparco, Lifeline, B&G, Moto Corsa (the last 3 can be picked up from Demon Tweeks, etc).
Driftworks have a nice one...
You're probably right. It wasn't difficult to put he new bolt in. Just a bit fiddly.
Should be easier though only having to bolt up one end this time though!
Found it. It's the pinch bolt (I couldn't find) for the steering rack to connect to the column.
Reckon I need to use his or will the stainless but and bolt I fitted suffice?
Holy thread bump Batman!
But I am missing the top brackets for my rad. I'm running without A/C (but the car had it originally). Which brackets do I need?
So, I might be dreaming here, but as I was taking the dash frame out tonight, I spotted something on the loom...
So this is the ECU controller for the EPAS column. I managed to find the 2 plugs and bit of wire the other week up the scrappies...
So I take the frame out, and spot a bit of loom...
Not thought that far ahead, but it's only about an hour for me to get to those services. I met @Typhoon there last year, and we overtook @Cub. 's slow pink car on the way up the A46... :cool:
