Nice one Gordon, you will find the yoke that bolts onto the rose joint is the wrong shape though, leaving it open even when the M12 bolt is pulled up tight





You also have to remove 5mm from the diameter of the lower spring isolator, otherwise it's impossible to fit it into the pan of the new upper arm, due to the pressing being in the wrong place, along with the cutouts for the drop links

At least they will have a decent coat of paint by the look of things

Wow, the size of your workshop would like to have that sort of space.

Unfortunately my garage is full and not that big so I only have my parking space to do things in.

Still nice to have somewhere to do your projects though.

Can I forward a tip that was suggested to me when I did this? Weld up the captive nuts on the subframe, to help with future removal of the arms.

all ready done still dont know why it is like it is, surely its easier to weld it up when they build up the subframe.

It’s better to remove the captive nuts and weld on a nut that is half decent!
