As promised the subframe was ready for the Cave open evening..A quick turn around but a top quality job..I highly recommend Powder coating..
Ok so today was a bit lazy for me..but I did get to the cave for a couple of hours this afternoon and did this...
Heavy duty bottom arms and tie bars...used the proper offset bushes on the bottom arms...
Hubs, Vented disks, mini steering arms, four pots and Mintex pads fitted..
As you can see I have left the covers on the back of the new CV joints for now..and all the bolts are just nipped up..this wont be going any where neer the car for a couple of months so as well to keep everything as clean as possible..
Still waiting for the top arms..they are having the old bushes removed..must be a bit more difficult than expected.. but the new pins and plates are on just to clear the threads..
Drive shafts were cleaned and painted about a year ago!! but Its getting closser to fitting time..I pressed the balls back into the pot joint cages for now!!
And finally I ran the tower bolts through to clean the threads..
So thats about it for today...more tomorrow I hope..
Love the mini
