I finally found time to take down the suspension. Wheel angles were off and I could not get them right with adjustments so a rebuild was necessary.
Brakes must be rebuilt, hope that cleaning, honing and new seals will do the job. The brake fluid was actually clean (and blue..).
In the front the kingpin's were shot. Everything was really greasy, I noticed that I had 10 spacers for each linkpin and that was good, they were not equally distributed though.. seems like the camber trick was implemented.
In the rear I found the donuts to be in a bad condition but I do have the soft weltmeister donuts that will go in there.
A few problems arose, two of the bolts securing the torsion bar cover broke, spent one hour to bore, clean, bore and one thread hole came out a little worn. I will have to torque that bolt down before I put things back. Worst case I will install a permacoil.
I put a tape at the old trailing arm angle but will try to lower the car somewhat.
With some luck I can send out the brake backing plates for blasting and powder paint in a day or two.
The next "project" is to finish the speedster seats, I got them a couple weeks ago and have been waiting for upholstery from Autos Intl. It seems like I will be getting covers, foams and carpets in a couple days.
Enough ramblings, its time for the Elfrink book, as one need to read up on the matters.
