To close this off, I’ve now fitted everything back on the car - stub axles with new bushes and kin pins, new main springs, track rod ends, inner track rod bushes, Andre Koopman steering rack gaiter, wheel bearings and seals, all new nuts and bolts.
Set the tracking with chalk and a plumb line good enough to drive to Service58 garage in Ouroux en Morvan (1SAS were there for six months in 1945, good book by Ian Wellstead on their exploits) for four wheel alignment.
Had a lovely drive back through the Morvan forest - 12km’s of newly tarmacked twisty hilly road!
