I am forging on with the suspension (new chassis) and am stuck:

1) The plastic bushes are a tight squeeze can I use a bit of force

2) the straight bar on the front suspension has screw in moveable olives- how do these fix to the chassis as I dont seem to have any bolts, steel sleeves or bushes

3) Do I need to grease the bushes

4) Also the diff I bought has the prop shafts already fitted, to remove them do you just take off the gaitors and undo the allen key bolts.

They probably seem like stupid question but your help is appreciated

Paul

Hi Paul
1) yea

You're more than welcome to take a look next time your around

Paul

2) I'm not sure they do fix to the chassis (as such)- aren't they the "Pushrod" in the suspension - and therefore if you have the full kit, you will be using one (or two in fact!) of your suspension bolts?

They will be attached to the bottom wishbone and then up to the bellcrank which should have the shocker on the other end (attached to the chassis!)

I was in knutsford on Saturday! If you want and Bob doesn't mind me saying it, I could come and take a look at it for you aswell!

cheers,
Steve

If you're coming in the locost Steve it had better be today - the forecast is for rain for the rest of the week :^(
Paul - I can drop round 8:30ish if that's OK - I HAVE to take a lot of tree to the tip first...... (see weather forecast above..)
Bob

I was thinking that myself Bob!

Alas I am in work (I work nights) today and tomorrow!

So it would be in the day (obv not feasible with other people working in the day!) orwednesday evening onwards. In the car or the rover...

Steve

Cheers Bob

I spoke to MK before and they have answered most of my questions

Paul
