And here is the top of the board, all complete. Just need to find what box the rest of my relays are in and insert the cover stem when it returns from being re-plated.

Got the first set of metal back from the powder coater. I decided to go with something beside the standard black for these parts. So it is a custom gunmetal color.

Pedal Cluster parts also went to the powder coater. They will be done in the standard black.

I originally bought aftermarket ball joint nuts, but they didn't want to thread onto the ball joints, so I re-ordered them directly from Porsche. You can definately see the difference in quality. Lesson learned: some parts just cant be replaced by Aftermarket.

After preparing the bushings with liquid soap and setting the mounts to the proper andgle, I pressed each bushing and mount onto the control arm using a pipe clamp.

I installed the ball joint, but will have to do the final torque once the arms are installed.

The powder coating looks great Kevin.

Nice job on the relay board as well.

Looking forward to seeing the progress on the bodywork as well.

Keep up the great work!

Thanks, These cold days do pay off for getting the component jobs done. But I cant wait for warmer weather so I can roll the body out and start the blasting process.....

Also decided to kill the rest of a cold day assembling the rear axle shafts. Getting the new boots on was more difficult than I anticipated. I have only removed old nasty ones which are easy.

So I broke out a little dish soap to help things along. Then laid out the parts for re-assembly...

I put anti-sieze lubricant in the splines of each of the joints. Just a thin layer because it does squeze out on the other side and you dont want that mixed in with the grease.

Then tap the joint onto the shaft until it is fully seated.

Then comes installing the retaining clip. I have a special pair of ring spreaders for this type of clip. They basically spread the circle as you squeeze them and that way I dont over stretch or otherwise damage the rings

Then install th clips, sorry the pic is a bit blurry. The key is to be sure that the clip is fully seated all the way around in the groove in the shaft.
