KrisB's 4-0-Five

Today, I had a delayed customer and a spare hour this morning, so whipped the torsion bars out, cleaned up the splines and set the ride height to somewhere that resembles 'standard' and not 'jacked up.

Spotted a very bad, perished flexi brake pipe on the rear beam which is otherwise invisible to MOT testers. So, i've ordered in a pair of replacement flexi's which i'll crack on with when I fit the replacement lower arm bushes (one side advised on MOT) and do the steering rack bellow.



The interior is pretty clean, except the drivers seat doesn't match the rest of the seats, there was a second hand seat fitted last year as the original was broken and wouldn't go through the MOT. Funny enough.... i still have that broken seat in the workshop so i'll get it welded up and bung it back in

Looking at the front shocks, they look to be identical in spring pan / width etc, but they look about an inch and a half longer between the hub and bottom spring pan. I might fit some 306 shocks/springs and see if the front end sits any better.
