Rear W'bones and Brake Lines.......
My brother who is a panel beater and sprayer by trade kindly painted my front and rear wishbones (front orange and rear black) and so i fitted the rear w'bones, which was a task for various reasons. Firstly have to press 32 poly bushes into the rear w'bones and all where a tad to big for the tubes they were pressed into and made each one i nightmare to get in. Secondly once the bushes were in getting the w'bones to bolt into their mounts on the chassis meant having to spread the w'bone apart very slightly to slot them in!! To add to this there were 16 tubular sleeves that slid into the bushes that were all about 1mm to long and therefore would not slide into the mounts on the chassis!! Out with the grinder and finally after alot of huffing and puffing the w'bones lined up and i got the bolts through!!
After that i secured the fuel line and brake lines in the transmission tunnel. I thought it made sense to do this now as getting the drill in the trans tunnel might prove a pain when the panels were on or worse i might scratch them!! To reduce vibration and possible damage to the brake lines i bought some 4mm i.d. silicon tubing and thread the brake lines through this and secured with 'p'-clips every 5-6 inches.
