Update 31st May / 1st JuneThought the days was going well, the remainder of the front suspension when on this morning, new coilover, disks cleaned up, back on, new pads, calipers back on, braided hoses (shiny) then noticed the offside bearing was completely goosed, so all off. Not got the kit to press out the old bearings so will take to my local garage next week - waisted morning, so off I went and got new bearings and took my wife's spare wheel down the local kwik fit to replace to tyre (she'd had a puncture in the week) - While I was waiting chatting to one of the guys there who owns 2 Scoobies, mentioned the bearings, bring them down tomorrow I'll press out the put in the new bearing for you - Petrol heads stick together!!!
So after that morning I decided to work on the engine, cut down the pinion and fitted the take up sandwich for the Mocal oil rad and binned out the old water sandwich. Plus begun the process of installing the HRCP Bias Box, cut away the original mount and the lower mount for the column to create as much room as possible for the new box and column. I am organised honest, although the picture would suggest otherwise!
Beer o'clock!
Installed
Nice piece of kit, fits lovely - Congrats to HRCP!!! Need to drill two holes up through to the shelf near the wiper to bolt it in at the top, the box then sits really solid, suggest cutting out the lower column fixing plate on the car itself just to get more room, another tip just to ease the installation is to compress the spring at the bottom of the steering column and hold it (compressed) with some cable ties. This makes fitting to the cv joint a lot easier, then cut the ties on the spring when all fitted together.
Not looking forward to sorting the wiring! :-(
