This job has been a nightmare, new radius arms should take 2-3 hrs to install, so far I'm about 6! Trying to do it myself and get the bolts in the right place by using ratchets and jacks etc, is testing my patience. I have to go away for a few days, but did mange to get the drivers side tightened up and shock mounted. Hopefully the passenger side should be quick, its 90% done now.

I just want to get out and play, I'm pissed off with constant fixing and stuff taking longer then it should

You can see the sheered off mount

The new shock mount in place...still some tidying painting to do, but enough for today.

Well at last triggers brush is back on the road, the new radius arms have had the effect of straightening out the front springs (rather then the banana shape they were)

New alloys from Dave in Welsh Wales have been fitted - a nice bargain these, must remember a wee donation to the forum - these run so much quieter on the road.
