Ok, busy day today.
First job was an easy one.
My Indy and also my MOT guy both reported this, in fact I think it was an advisory at my last MOT.
Rear anti roll bar corroded and bushes worn.
So 4 bolts in the 2 mounting brackets, then a nut onto each drop-link removed and it was off.
Looks like it's been at the bottom of the sea.
I sent it to the powder-coaters with my pulleys and engine bay strip the other week and it arrived back the other day.
I really wanted the black Powerflex bushes as they look more factory standard than the blue ones, but the black ones are on back order for a week or two and I wanted this job finished.
So anyway, anti roll bar and brackets back, black and silver respectively.
There's still some pitting under the powder-coat unfortunately but it's much better than it was and will do for now.
Ready to be refitted.
Can't get a good pic of it fitted but you get the jist.
Looks slightly out of place amongst the tatty old components and undercarriage but that will be sorted over time.
One more note. Have your bar coated then measure the thickness of it once it's back and order the appropriate size bushes.
They always wear oval so my bar was 18.8mm to 19.6mm.
I went for 19mm bushes.
Next this afternoon it was onto what I'd class as my first proper job on the car. Rads and condensers.
I think it's time to fess up to the fact I'd underestimated the work involved in this.
As I type I have the passenger side fully stripped and the drivers side is well on.
It's one of those "how far do you go?" jobs though.
Going to speak to my Indy and see what is usually renewed, eg all hoses? All hose clips? Etc.
I think I've read in the past to ditch the hose clips for stainless jubilee clips but the Porsche spring clips seem to work fine.
Anyway I'll finish the tear down tomorrow, decide what I'm doing and order a load of new fasteners, clips, screws etc.
I'd usually not rush but I have 3 weekends until the car goes to my Indy so I need to not get too carried away.
Anyway no pics yet until I get sorted. Cheers. :thumb:
