Re: [doc] Flopsy?



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

Dave decided to have a crack at doing Flopsys lowering springs, but the n/s one wouldnt budge despite your tip about the trolley jack and after the antics with DGS and the screwdriver he didnt fancy battering himself again. 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. So an action packed weekend that acheived naff all really!
