That looks ok, but i think you may be missing a washer between the upper shock mounting bracket and the top of the diff frame.

I had to fit my wishbone brackets with pry bars, welcome to the club

that's the engineering fine tolerances then

HTH

why oh why do you never have enough of the right size nuts :angry:

[darve]

bit of help please

I'm trying to tighten up the lower ball joint castle nut and the ball joint is just spinning I've given it a good few taps with the hammer to try and seat the ball joint but not having much luck.

any tips please??

thanks

Put a G-clamp around the balljoint and upright to hold the taper of the balljoint firmly in while you do it up. It just needs a bit of friction to stop it spinning.

success is there anything you don't know mark

<p>bit of progress this week. looking pretty smart if I do say so myself

Ah, your link worked this time, half a mo, I'll get rid of the extra one

I just really like the black panelling.

And the fact that I'm not the only messy builder!

I decided to do it after I had fitted most of them lets just say I have gone through a lot of masking tape

I tidied it up on Wednesday but yes, I do work in a state of chaos

[darve]

not a lot if progress this weekend. been too busy sleeping

drive shafts and front brakes cleaned up and painted. waiting for some new anti vibration springs to turn up then the front brakes can be fitted

[darve]

brake fitting clips turned up today so was able to for the front brakes

now here comes what I think us a real newbie question! is it normal for the pads to rub on the disks until the brakes are bled?

still waiting for the rear rhs upper wishbone to arrive and I'll have everything to get to a rolling chassis stage
