Right, on with the story..............
First this. If you like black fortified Muscat, this one is super syrupy and super raiseny.
Why am I telling you this?
That's why.
Don't underestimate the top lube bolts. Big diameter and UNF thread on the factory ones mean that they are a pig to restart in the top of the kingpin. Offside took about 15 minutes, but the nearside, which gave me trouble when I tried it just before Shelsley, took over half an hour to restart.
They look so innocent once back in place over the reaction bar.
It's tricky locating the right place to drill the chassis:
Then I fitted the AVO's - very simple job. The old damper has a flat on the shaft so that an open ender can hold it still but the AVO's have an allen head.
I've also fitted a sleeve over the flexible pipe as it touches the reaction bar:
And one shot of the nearside.
Started about 11.00, stopped for lunch and finished about 4.45, so a productive day.
