Just a quick question - why black rather than silver or silver/grey for the wire wheels? I'm sure that the black will probably put as many people off as the red.....Even though you had a stock of black spray cans.....

when I replaced the crossmember pads a couple of weeks ago, I noticed one the wishbone pivot bushes looked a bit sorry for itself. I looked into replacements - poly, v8 or standard and plumped for the v8 bushes as they were a good upgrade but much cheaper than poly. whilst in David manners I asked about the cost of the wishbones . at £6 each I thought its was really cheap and removes any possibility of ovalled holes etc last night, I started on the drivers side bushes., taking about 30mins to strip out the existing components.  Looks like the nuts were tightened up before the weight was put back on to the wheel. the bush clamps up with the wishbone fully drooped and sheers as the weight is put back on the wheels.  standard bushes are a 2 piece affair whereas the v8 ones are one piece with a steel inner so much stiffer but still allowing some flex   I need some new dust seals and caps for the lower fulcrum pin so will finish it all off this week |
