Thread: Project "Left Overs" is back alive !

You're right, Charlie. We have a standing joke in the shop that we put a part "where we can find it later." Of course, we NEVER remember where that spot was, so we hunt, and hunt, and hunt. Drives us nuts. Then, when we aren't looking for something, THERE IT IS!! I swear Gremlins hide stuff on us.

Speaking of parts, today I started digging out all of the front end parts I could find in my stash. Actually did pretty good, found most of the expensive stuff and now have an idea what I will need to order to finish it up. I took some time to clamp the spring onto the new perch, and mock up the axle and wishbones in place. As you see it in the pictures is pretty much how it will sit, I think.

This week I will drill out the holes in the wishbones and retap them to 5/8 fine threads for the angled perches, then I will make up a lower spring plate to hold the spring to the new perch, and start making the plates that hold the wishbones to the frame.
