Next stage was to fit the wishbones to the chassis, the bushes were fitted with no reletive problems, just needed to remove the paint from the bores with the aid of some trusty air tools and flap wheels, once they were clean with the aid of a vice the bushes were pressed into place,
then fitting these up was easy, they fitted into the chassis mounts with no real issues, bolts were put in ensuring the correct orientation of the heads of the blots, and making sure lots of copper slip was applied to the bolts.
after the wishbones were loosely bolted up, it was time to put the uprights on. these have had a good lick of fresh paint, along with the brake calipers, the top ball joints were fitted to the front upper wishbones, and i had to buy replacement boots for my lower ball joints as these were splitting when they were slavaged from the MX5 along with the bolts the secured the lower ball joint to the wishbone.
the front hubs fitted with no problems what so ever, along with the rears, it was just rembering the reduction bushes that push into the lower mouting hole on the rear up rights, also whilst fitting the rear hubs, the drive shafts were connected back up to the diff.
