Did a few jobs this weekend
- confirmed my AC gauge set was not leaking and identified a small leak on the AC system. However, could be due to the system not being used for so long, it's not sealing correctly. So I'll have to half charge it with dye and identify it.
- Drilled out ABS sensor bolts on front hubs and reclaimed the holes to be used again.
- Drilled out and retapped 2 bolts on the AC condenser mounting bracket
- kingpin bearings plus shaft seals renewed and hubs refitted to front axle
- wiped down plastics inside car as they were very dusty
- shampooed head liner inside car to remove unwanted 'welding scent'
- fabricated two more brackets for the ABS cable on the rear trailing arms
- fitted ABS sensor cable to front axle with p-clips
- partially fitted hub vacuum hose as I ran out of clips
