Actually, yes. I've seen that a couple of sets of Toby TABs have made their way across the pond. Before I started in on replacing mine, I searched the internet and came across Andy Snell's restoration web page. http://www.delorean-dmc12.co.uk/restoration/ Pretty much so far, his page has the best documented shots of the chassis seperated from the body, with most of the piping and hardware in place that I've ever seen. So if you're reading this Andy, I owe you a BIG thank you! Not only did I finally get a good picture of how my TABs are installed (without removing the air deflectors), but I now also know just how to route my A/C hoses. When I finally do get around to having the system rebulit, I'll print off a couple of shots to take to the repair shop so they have a better idea of what to do as well. Replacing my TABs wasn't quite as easy a job that I expected it to be. The drivers side TAB slid both in and out with me only needing to push the Trailing Arm up. The passenger side was quite a bit more difficult for me. In the end, I had to not only wedge the Trailing Arm up, but I also had to grab the Lower Linkage on the rear suspension, and pull it twards the front of the car. Once this was done, the new Toby TAB slid into place with no resistance. I didn't replace the bushings though. It can be done, but I'm just going to have it done when I have the suspension rebulit later this year. Along with replacing all of the washers as well. The drivers side nut came off with little resistance at all. But the passenger side was torqued up a bit tighter, and the sleeve in the bushings had cut into the washers. The verdict: My car now has a bit less tendancy to break the rear end loose. Not perfect yet because the Shock Absorbers are shot to hell, but much better. A little bit of clunking is still present (drive shafts), but is also much quieter! The TABs were clean for the most part, and only the passenger side has shown any coating of rust. But I coated the TABs with a bit of axel grease though to "seal" both the bolts, and the sleeves. And yes, even though the car only has 44K miles, the bolts are bent. It's not too noticeable by simply "eye- balling" them, but is quite evident when you roll them on a flat surface. -Robert vin 6585 "X" --- In dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, "mgutkowski@xxxx" <webmaster@xxxx> wrote: > Hi All > > Did you know that several of the last sets of Toby Trailing Arm Bolts found > their way "across the pond" to England? > > Well, on Saturday, Chris Hawes, with his 10,000 miles car drove to the > Diesel Centre for a service, belts and TABs. <SNIP>
