Holes drilled for grease fittings. Bushings have been spiral cut and honed out to a nice slip fit. Just a firm pressure to install or remove the bushings.

Last one Fuel pump relocation Draft 1.
I will make a final adjustment to the lines once I get a new fuel pump. This facet will do for now though. Attached thumbnail(s)

What bushings are you using? How did you go about spiral cutting them? |

I got the poly bushings from pelican.
I used a dremel with a 1/4" round cutting bit. I still need to tap for the fittings. |

Thanks for the moral support! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/laugh.gif)
Yeah I have bills installed up front now. The interesting thing was when I pulled the old struts out they were red Koni's!!!!!! I already had the bills and the Koni's are definitly worn. Aren't the koni's rebuildable? I can't wait to get it back on the road. I'm still waiting for an A-arm and 1 ball joint and some torsion felts so I can put it all back together. Then I just have to wait for my calipers and rotors to get it on the road. I'll post up more picks when that happens! Spring is getting near I wanna get this car on the road! |
