Time to start a new build. Ex BG maxi. Hereford.

Interesting issue with the lowering.

The locating pin is not a pin. But a hot stamping in the spring. Time to make some pins.
Here you can see the upper surface. There is a plastic plug in one. Removed in the other.

That is part of the spring and ain’t moving.

New push fit pins made.
Just need to clean them up and check the fit.
And put some paint on them.

Looking good so far

[Nicklouse]

Retrofication lowering kit fitted to the rear. Was interesting.

[Nicklouse]

Wobble blocks fitted. Let’s see.

[Nicklouse]

Made a big difference. Fitted to the first hole which is in the same position as the standard shackles. Going to make some others out of some steel tube and old bolts to put in the last holes. Might even do two and join them to help lock them together.

[Nicklouse]

Front Vogtland springs fitted.

Have it a day off today as the Van decided it did not like keeping the coolant inside.

Problem found.

Had to take the cooler part to get it out.
But it came out.

Now it’s out time to check other parts for condition.

Oooppps

New being collected in the morning.

[Nicklouse]

Got the whole new unit in in one piece.

New and old.

Ohooo

Got to love ABS units

All back together.
