Day 7 - Fitting the modified wishbones



Wednesday 26th September

After having so much grief with the poly bushes, I have modified them to suit. The bushes are assembled in two halves and a steel tube fits through them for the bolt to go through. The inner faces had 3mm cut off them and now they fit perfectly.
Great! At last they fit the mounting brackets with a tight sliding fit.
The bolts supplied are 4mm too short so these are being replaced. The SVA requirement means at least a couple of threads must be showing after it passes through the Nylock. What is the point of being supplied bolts that only just reach the nylon in the Nylock? Blooming stupid, if you ask me! Just another set back.
