Build Day 26

Rear Uprights





Today I started work on torqueing all the suspension up. I've sourced Nylocs to replace the supplied castellated nuts; a bit of a trick as the rear lower nut on the rear upright is a M10 x 1.0 thread unlike the M10 x 1.25 for the remainder. I had to remove the brake calipers and shockies to get at them.






The front lower nut on the passenger side rear was hard up against the upright casting so I had to loosen the camber adjustment at the top to fit it.

I discovered I'm going to need a 22mm ring spanner to do up the lower nuts on the front upright, there not a lot of spare space.
