A quick picture update.
I knew I had alot of items ending on ebay this weekend, so I swapped a couple of days during the week. To get on with the front axle.
Very happy with the axle, didnt really have to do much work on it. I stripped it dont to check, everything had been done well. Kingpins, bushes. Brake parts all new. The shackles had new pins fitted. So just built it back up again And painted it.
The damper took just as long as the axle, 4 hours to find the pressing tools, rivets etc. And 2 hours to do the job. (One day I'll have a tidy workshop ).
I've not rivited the ends yet, as they have to be changed to a ball fitting. But at least I have a measurement to make the two link bars for the damper ends.
