![]() Taking shape there Davy
![]() The Dragon certainly looks a bit different from when you first collected it ![]() The Transit joints you require are the Draglinks from the Mk2 Transit Late 60's to mid 70's. These are easily avalable ..... I got mine from my local motor factors £6.50 each ..... Any problems with id, its the right handed ones with the 18mm X 1.5 thread that you need. ![]()

![]() Decent prices there Davie
![]() I am rather envious of you folk that live in area's where the motor factors have stiff competition ![]() My only decent local factor has branches all over the county ..... Recently bought a budget wiper blade in the Plymouth branch £2.75 inc vat .... bought another wiper blade, same brand & size in my local Penzance branch, nearly £6 ![]() I guess that's the price I have to pay for the nice view from my window ![]()

![]() Got the ball joints today but they only sent one tranny drag link (still sounds wrong), minor mistake in the ordering so they're sending another one tomorrow. Interestingly the thread on the drag link is different to that specified in the book. Book says M18X1.5mm while this one is M20X1.5mm. Not a huge problem as I can bore out the tubes and retap them easily enough. Anybody else ecountered this or did I just get "lucky"?
bush tubes and bushes didn't arrive today so I've been tinkering along with the suspension bracket positioning. As mine is not built to the book the positions are somewhat different so its taking a bit of trial and error to work it all out. I also discovered that the Granada steering rack is a fairly high ration at 2.8 turns lock to lock but of course it does include PAS ![]() D.
