Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 50 After removing the worn balljoint from the car and comparing it with a Valver one, it seems they are exactly the same. So I fitted the Valver one in its place, tightened everything up, and there was no more movement. I took it for a drive...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project something else just happened.....lol....god how i love this car ffs. started it, pulled off drive, turned.....get this bubbling noise near my feet (where the PAS line goes into the rack)......then like some other wierd noises, look outside, fluid in a line where i just...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project you undo the locking nut on the end of the thread, then turn the racks arm.........f**king gay :( valver rack worked perfectly adjustment wise, just didnt adjust far enough, hence the change

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project got williams rack on.....working etc, but toe'ing in because of the camber. Needs like 1 turn inwards on the track rod ends, but they are siezed....been out in the rain trying to do it, gave up.........

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project or maybe not.......not drivable now :dapprove:

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project going to dig them out in the morning :)

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project 172 (ph quick) ball joint? apparently they are all the same though....if thats true, ive got some spare on a set of valver wishbones...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 49 After fitting the brake line and 172 hoses last night, I decided to bleed the system with fresh fluid before attempting the steering rack. Once that was done, I set about getting the Williams rack onto the car. Firstly I tried getting it through the same hole...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project they use different track rod ends too.....the ends are male thread on a williams, and female on a valver.....stupid if you ask me!

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project yeah probably, but after last time I couldnt be bothered, and a few people said it was easier to do with it still on, which obviously isnt, unless im doing something wrong!

carefully try it lol....as long as its not turned too far it shouldnt damage anything

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 48 I was going to attempt to fit the Williams steering rack again today, but its rained all day, so that was never happening. The other two jobs that needed sorting were the rounded off brake line (Day 29), by swapping it with one that I got from a scrap yard, and...

Re: Mk1 Hybrid Project Day 47 Ive been after a Williams steering rack for a while, as the valver one just does not wind out far enough to make the tracking correct with the widetrack fitted. I managed to get hold of one, and it arrived today. Williams’ are a wider track than a valver as...

hmmm maybe its adjusted too much or something? is there an adjuster connected tothe back at the moment (motor?)

yeah, will only go one way, they were stupidly tight fit on my old ones, have some sort of metal gasket thing on them.....itl just click and pop off when it gives way, the bulb will stay in the headlight and that is seperate, charger just goes onto it

are all three (i think there is 3) ball joints connected ok? no cables in the way or anything?

is the balljoint still intact? if it isnt....the units useless.....but if it is....they are a right pain, i did it with some very long nose pliers once, but was a standard headlight unit, very similar locations of the balljoint things though

something to do with a regulator on the tank end that hadnt been taken out i think.....causing lack of pressure at the rail

il probably be up there at RST on 8th nov ;)
