Chapter 28 - There's No Stopping us....

By now, Busfest was but a distant memory, and all eye's were on Christmas, and and the Joys that the season brings, meaning in the short term, my funds were limited to non bus items.....

Still....... it didn't stop me making a shopping list,

A list for Santa, if you like....
Over the next 3-4 months, I saved my pennies, and started stock piling the parts, for when the weather would break and let me work our magic. 

Things like, a new suspension kit, -50mm, fully adjustable dampers

New polyurethane bushes,

Gonna need some new disc's, with more stopping power........

With mine being a early model, the disc and hub come as one complete unit, so it looks like i'll need some new bearings too

Unfortunately the stone guard on the back, were in a right state, one had two holes rusted through.

In for a penny, in for a pound, so ...........

 

Note the new extended wheel studs

Meanwhile, some more goodies arrived from Bickwerks!
Note the new drop links, I managed to snap one stripping the front suspension, so i poly bushed, the anti roll bar, end to end

Now for the fun part, getting the bugger back on the anti roll bar

We clamped the antiroll bar down, and i lubed up the yellow poly bush with the included grease (copper grease) and forced it on with a lot of effort!

(make sure you put them back on right, or i imagine you'll have even more fun removing them!)

We took the liberty of, grinding and sanding the antiroll bar, then cleaning before a coat of plastic coated matt black paint,

Got me some for the toe in bars too!
