Hi Stot,:)
I hear you was down my neck of the woods Saturday. If I had known I could have shown you round my car and had a chat. The car was in the workshop where you picked up your stuff from and I was working on it upto about 4o'clock so must have just missed you...:( |
Hi Johno,
I missed that bodywork by minutes unfortunately so it wasn't me if that's what you meant? I was at home helping Phil @ Talon load my MX5 shell onto the back of his truck. :D Never seen another man make my wife so happy.... :p Cheers Stot |
a wee update. I needed to strip the rear uprights completely and I had a seized bolt stuck in one of them. I had cut the bolt to remove the upright from the wishbone.
I spent an age trying to get the damn circlip out of the upright and in the end took an old set of vice grips and welded them to the circlip! ![]() ![]() Came out in seconds and i pressed the bearings out with a 12 ton press. ![]() ![]() Ready for final blasting an painting. |
Next up the seized bolt.
![]() I center drilled it on the mill and then used a dead center in the press to free it up and a long socket to push it through. ![]() ![]() ![]() It went with a bang. |
I drifted it out the rest of the way.
![]() ![]() Another job done. Cheers Stot |
Got the rear drivetrain bits blasted and painted. These are first coat pictures but I did the second coat this morning so they are done.
![]() ![]() ![]() I have new bearings, brake seals, ball joints etc to go on. Be rolling soon... :eek: Cheers Stot |
Nice work!
I gave up trying to remove the bolts out of my rear uprights and bought another pair with them pre-removed :rolleyes: |

Nice work :D Looking forward to seeing more!

They come out a lot easier if you can spin the bolts in the uprights with an impact gun, soak over night with oil, then they come out with a drift and a big Ammer!
