Not handed & other questions
As my technical english aint that good I need some things explained. Found some phrases in the Indy build manual I´m not sure of.
1. "The rear wishbones are NOT handed"?
Does it mean that there´s no front and back on the wishbones?
2. M12x75mm HT bolt?
3. I´ve got 2 sorts of threaded rivnuts, black and goldish. Where are these supposed to fit?

Front top bones are the ones with a slight difference left or right,top balljoint must point upwards with top of hub leaning slightly to back of
car.
Rear bones are identical (not handed)apart from bottom bones Z shape in the design,staple balls has his in same possition as mine and everyone elses
so they must be right.

Well it seems so...which is good for me....I´ll be back with more questions as the work progresses.
Btw...on the engine mounts I got, it says NS & OS. What´s that?

Er, good question, I'd say probably!
I doubt they've rewritten the manual for LHD, and I'd assume your engine is the same as the UK ones, what is it, a Pinto?
To recap, from sitting in the car, offhand side (O/S) is the right, nearhand side (N/S) is the left.
