Busy day today, I'm going through the front end . Just popped the king-pins for a look see, no issues that I can detect, the bearings underneath them are clean and good, there was some concern they'd got wet and salty, nope, fine.Put the grease gun on them, oozed evenly...... Wheel bearings repacked. This year we will have the tie rod squarely behind the front axle, there is still some correspondance ongoing between me and the authorities about this, that being the case , no pics.
Yesterday I altered the steering column angle, rather than sweat over it I moved it to the point where the upper edge just reaches the sight line to the front of the car, last year I had miscalculated and it was a bit too low.
Next I am going to adjusty the canopy rearward by about 3/16ths, for some reason, at some time it went forward a tiny bit and I suspect is the reason for its reluctance to snap down now....
Last week I started on the nose repair,it was damaged in a trailering incident at the Chopped show, I welded in a patch in the centre where i had hurredly riveted a piece when we first finished the car too, looks better from the inside now.....
Not long to go.....
