Re: [doc] Flopsy?

[Martin Gutkowski <webmaster@xxxx>]

I've stripped Tinny's front suspension out too. Those ball joints are a 
royal pain in the proverbial to get out - the upper one isn't too hard 
but the lower one is a pig - you'll need a ball joint splitter to get it 
out. CV boot? Do you mean the steering rack boot? It just so happenns 
that I have a spare one which came with Tinny and the existing ones are 
fine. I'll stick my compressors in the car so can give you a hand next 
time I'm round. I have a robot event this Sunday but Sat should be okay

So its back together minus caliper and shock absorber - which gives the total 'boulevard look'! Dave found that the CV boot is split and the ball joint is fubar'd too. I think the calipers need rebuilding and it also needs a speedo drive thingy (technical term). He's got a new thermostat for DGS from Webbs today - actually matches up to a Porsche!! With abit of luck that will sort the problem of excreeting coolant from every orifice and bubbling over.
