Rally Cars progress - and the 444 also

18/9/2017

  • Peter's 240 LEJoG (Lands End to John'o'Groats) car is nearing readiness
    • Saab Turbo seats installed, which both we and Peter quite like
    • Harnesses in, using the OE mounting points rather nicely
    • Amy has sized it up for this endurance event, and we're just having the footrest laser cut before I weld it together and install it
    • Amy's navdesk was built by Peter in Australia and sent out, and replaces the glovebox lid beautifully.
  • Mike & Lorna's old PV544 now has a 4.56 axle installed
    •  I need to get the brakes built up again 
    • then lengthen the propshaft (it had been shortened for an overdrive, ugh!)
  • Our new 444...
    • I removed and cleaned up its axle, particularly descaling the journal where the wraparound bush sits
    • Reinstalled, brakes rigged, new brake lines, greased up the (umbrella) handbrake line
    • I suspect the next task is to install the new loom...
