My Nova 16v Project

WTF were you doing up at 3am this morning? lol

I logged in, then fell sleep on my keyboard, then got in bed lol

Going back out there now to remove all what fitted yesterday to get it sorted lol

Him mate i felt a little tired by the time i got home! It really was no probs helping out and we got loads done be it after a head scratch session or two! I look forward to our next encounter :roll:

Glad to here you have carried on today like a soldier, i have promptly felt the need to tidy my own garage lol

So when are you popping over to do the legs then?? lol

Just in from the garage, again lol

Whipped off the front legs and stripped them down again of topmounts and springs.

Tried using a rats-tail file to elongate the holes, but my hands are killing I've not got anywhere lol :(

I took a grinder to the back of the hub, where the 2x19mm bolts pass through, to ensure that when i push the bottom hole in, that it doesn't foul on the shock body itself, so there should be plenty of clearence now

is it me or are your top mounts upside down? running them like that means the load is on the circlip rather than the shoulder of the mount and thus the mount itself

/\ repost lol lol

ok, but it wont be funny if the circlip ever gives up, or the alloy in the top mount for that matter

Flippin'ek your pair have been busy!

Shame about the hiccup but opening the holes out on the shocker isn't a hard fix to rectify it.

Sure it will be all sorted in no time:cool:

:wtf: You carnt be running the top mounts like that are you?

Upgrade to the face up ones man

As most people know, Olly's car likes lifting a wheel or two lol, so if the circlip was going to give it would of done then. And he doesn't exactly hang about on track, so any problem would have happened by now surely :)

i would have to concur!
