Other jobs that have been completed

just to add some little notes about other jobs that have been completed,

Prop shaft has been shortened by bailey morris is St. Neots, this was reduced to the measurement that was supplied by westfield,

once fitted back into the car it became obvious very quickly that we have some issues of the prop hitting against the side of the tunnel supports, mostly on where it has been re-welded, so i had to set out hacking out a small scallop to allow some clearance between the prop and brace.

panels fitted to transmission tunnel, there have all been riv - nutted on with M5 stainless head bolts.

brakes have been bleed along with the clutch, now the brakes currently still feel like they have a bit of air stuck in the system, so after reading a few posts on WSCC about brake bleeding i have wedged some thing against the brake pedal and lifted up the back end, and hopefully the 'westfield brake fairies' come to visit and make the pedal firm.

all suspension bolts have now been torqued up, and i have roughly set the camber adjustment on the fronts to 1.75 degrees in the negative, the given base sus geometry recommends between -1.00 to -2.00 degrees, now 1.75 is the closest i can come to that figure, as another turn each way on the top ball joint puts it outside of the figure, but this might need to be readjusted as i have yet to set up the tracking, as i still have yet to sort out the lower steering coloum, but i am going to wait till i have fitted the dashboard before doing this as i may need to adjust the position of the coloumn where it comes through the dash.
