It is from a series 2 coupe, right hand drive.
- The silentblocs have all been replaced with nolethane.
- The sway bar bushes have been replaced with nolethane.
- New ball joints top and bottom.
- New steering linkages.
- Steering box rebuilt with new seals (swapped for series one box after discovering the top bearings - had been run dry on the original steering box. The box was filled with a mix of gear oil and lithium grease mixed up to a nice consistancy.
- All steel components bead blasted and refinished in 2 pack acrylic.
- cast aluminium uprights bead blasted and clear coated because they look nice that way.
- All nuts & bolts replated and reused where possible.
- Leaf spring disassembled, cleaned, greased and reassembled.
- New engine and gearbox mounts (not shown).
- All original subframe mount rubbers cleaned up and reused.
- Koni adjustable shock absorbers need to be cleaned up cosmetically but have had very little use and are functioning perfectly.
- Discs will be skimmed insitu. Does anyone have a minimum disc thickness spec??? I can't find one.
As you can see in the photos I had borrowed a 'tool' to compress the spring. Unfortunately it was designed to work with a series 1 cross bar without the bump stop 'ears', hence we resorted to using a 20 ton portapower which worked absolutley fine because it had a perfectly stable flat base to work against.
One day it will be back in the car and operational......
