Skidding Along

A good weekend and finally the new parallel trailing arm boxes are in. The boxes are not exactly as they were in the works car, but close enough. When I drew the boxes I added the lower arm mounting points to enable an accurate installation and I can simply blank them off. Once the boxes were in, fitting the rear jacking points was relatively easy. The hardest part was finding something in the car that was symmetrical to use as a datum, as between the drivers and passenger’s side there were great differences. All that needed doing to tie the job up was filling the holes in the floor, so I decided to cut both sides the same and put some skid plates on.
