When you're faced with an unpleasant task that you really don't want to do, sometimes you just have to dig deep down inside and somehow find the patience to wait for someone else to do it for you.

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Got a couple of little jobs knocked over tonight, one of our club members was having trouble with selecting gears in his FB so I went over for a look , found some adjustment issues and some flogged out selector rods and linkages on the gearbox so I took them off , bought them home and gave them a birthday

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Did a bit on the rattler and the VS as well , the drop spindles I have had for years are finally making their way onto a car, but of course they don’t fit
I shouldn’t be surprised I guess …. What kind of a moron designs a spindle with 2 mounting positions but only one of them can be used ????
Fixed it with my trusty hand held milling machine

You must have had the steering arms on the bottom hole every time, or HQ short arms are a different shape to all the other ones…Mick wrote:i've fitted probably a dozen sets of dropped stubs never had an issueBlacky wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 12:43 am Did a bit on the rattler and the VS as well , the drop spindles I have had for years are finally making their way onto a car, but of course they don’t fit

Re: Red Rattler Revamp
Got the front end pretty much all buttoned up , just waiting on a couple of bits - lower ball joints and brake pads . Painted the steering arms and caliper brackets and finished off the sway bar links.

Looking good Blacky - that tie rod end looks to be at a weird angle? Or have you just not tightened yet?Blacky wrote:

Just mocked up mate, so I could get the sway bar link rod length close - waiting on bottom ball joints so the wishbone has to come back off
