[cully]

thanks to Dum-Dum i now have some wishbones with excellent bushes,
they had 18mm balljoints but as there the wrong size for mine i had to drill out the rivets so i can fit my new 16mm joints ive just fitted to the car for MOT
coat of black hammerite now so fitting is saturdays job

   

[Connor]

You're welcome

[cully]

oh yeh sorry connor thanks for collecting them for me

[Connor]

and thankyou for the CIDER!!! Will let you now how it goes down

[cully]

whishbones are fitted also found the anti roll bar clamp not fitted correctly it wernt located into the chassis
so sorted that went for a spin

im smiling again
cars so much better it turns in quicker with the new wishbones, deffo pulls better with a cleaned airfilter and the revs dont stick so alls good now thats sorted too

also the clutch is booked in for next saturday

---

at the moment im attacking some rust on the gutter above the drivers door,
so get that undercontrol before theres a hole in the roof

dremmel with a wire brush some kurust and some paint will sort that as its under the gutter rubber

   

[cully]

decided to have a go at the Battery terminal as it was a bodge!

   

cut off the terminal recrimped a new lug and heat sleaved it and a new clamp
pritty!

   

   

and the inlet is still clean!

   

[Frosty]

I think bodge is an understatement for the battery clamp how it was

[cully]

clutch is Done what a shit of a job
thanks go's to Dum-Dum for some advice over the phone, or we would have been scratching our heads for a long while on how to disengauge the fork arm from the bearing
oil seal was replaced it looks as if the leak was from the sump though as the bolts were loose all cleaned up and refitted
dont want to do one of them again for a while!

clutch plate was well worn and the pressure plate was falling apart!

clutch is light and bits hard now!

[Midnightclub]

How are you liking a working clutch then haha

[cully]

went and washed the car at the local jet wash......and
the widscreen wipers dont work! goto like the reliable french electrics

so stripped out the wiper motor stripped it down cleaned all the bearings brushes and contacts, reasembled and all works again

think it needs replacing soon looks rough inside and the brushes are low

[cully]

some new bits turned up today
will go and fit them in a bit and do away with the cable ties holding the old ones on

   

[cully]

this week ends project has just arrived in a box
new set of rear beam mounts should go nice with a recon beam

   

[Tom]

Ooooer your cars getting the works! Definately a good save. Did you think about solid rear mounts or not interested/too much wonga for how much you use the car?

[cully]

yes tom exactly that too much money for what they are for the amount of use/ abuse they would get.
all the latest stuff ive bought like gear linkages,rear mounts,oil,filters,gearbox oil, have not cost me anything as the airbag resistor sales are paying for the parts, ive just got to fit them

[cully]

Sad car!

   

[cwspellowe]

airbag resistor sales are paying for the parts, ive just got to fit them

And the great thing is.. a slight tweak of the eBay ad and you can claim they gain 10bhp too

[cully]

some quick pointers for changing the beam mounts
jack up car support car on the propper jack points to avoid damage
   
use penetrating oil on all bolts your going to slacken/remove
   
undo bolts while axle is mounted firm but dont remove bolts
   
slacken but dont remove
   
slacken but dont remove oposite side
   
remove top fixing bolts slowly lower side on jack caution watch brake lines!!
part remove lower bolt, fully remove top bolt
mount should wiggle out by tipping to the rear of the car
   
remove mount note offset
   
admire the used mounts
   
refit in the oposite manner
   
   

---

near side needs bottom damper bolt removing to let the arm swing lower to let bottom mouunt bolt out
   
only part remove lower bolt same as other side remove top bolt lower beam on jack caution watch brake lines!
   
refit new mount
   
admire your handy work
   

[cully]

while the wheels were off i took the rear arch liners out to have a peak and replace the chewed up one,

so have wire brushed the Arch's out and given it a good couple of coats of Hamerite white once thats dried i will refit the new arch liners
