Finally with help from my Dad the new dumbirons were fitted. |
|
Used a bit of angle with 4 holes drilled through to replicate |
|
the bumper and rested the spring hangers on axle stands with |
|
blocks on top to give me the exact measurements I needed to get |
|
it spot on. Also clamped a bar to the front crossmember to act |
|
as a centerline. Simple to work with but needs a lot of double |
|
and triple checking after tacking that everything is in the |
|
right place. |
|
will paint them black tomorrow and hopefully will be able to get |
|
the axle back on on thursday |

Right then, more progress done today and im a bit ahead of |
|
schedule. Managed to singlehandedly refit the axle which was a |
|
faff as the passengers side had been shoved back but with use of |
|
a bottle jack, prybars and screwdrivers managed to get it all |
|
lined up nicely and fitted. All looks square again now so Im |
|
happy that my dumbiron repair has worked out :) Also got round |
|
to fitting the other track rod and set the tracking up. I will |
|
have to do this later on again when the wheels are on to set the |
|
toe in. Everything looks good so far, was very lucky with the |
|
chassis damage being so limited. Oh also painted everything |
|
gloss black so looks better now :) |

|
I also started on a bit of bodywork by straightening out my |
|
front panel and giving a coat of grey undercoat |

|
So tomorrow I'll probably refit the new shock absorbers (Procomp |
|
ES3000s) so will be back to being an almost rolling chassis. |
|
I'll leave the wheels off till ive fitted the wings so I can |
|
have maximum access to everything. Plus it makes it easier to |
|
bledd the brakes. |

Only just found this thread.....sorry to hear about your crash |
|
but wow....what a quick turnaround. |
|
Glad she's being saved - many would have broken for spares. Well |
|
done fella. :) |

Cheers, I do appreciate the comments :) |
|
Its got quite a sentimental attachment to me so couldnt bear to |
|
see it gone also on the night it happened I was already looking |
|
at what needed doing so was in the rebuild mindset from the |
|
start which helps get through it a second time. |
|
Hopefully be done next month, miss driving it quite a bit, |
|
especially with the bad weather we're having! |

Got the wheels back on and the new shocks fitted tonight. My |
|
free Wheeling hubs have been on borrowed time for a while so as |
|
the drivers side one is a bit buggered I'm going to swap for |
|
standard drive flanges. Always had them engaged anyway so won't |
|
feel a difference but less stuff to go wrong. |
|
Also the drivers side wheel bearing needs tightening up due to |
|
play so will be sorting that tomorrow evening as well as making |
|
a start on the passenger side wing hopefully |

Progress tonight :) |
|
Wheel bearing adjusted and new drive flange fitted. The britpart |
|
dust covers are a tight fit to say the least! |

Shocks fitted and brakes bled up. A trick i found to fit the |
|
split pin in the bottom shock mount is to use a valve spring |
|
compressor to compress the bush enough to get the washer on and |
|
pin in the hole |

Also found time to fit the front panel. I was just going to |
|
paint the back of it to protect it when the other bits get |
|
refitted but ended up rollering the front and the top as well |
