I'll see if I can find his number. Probably no biggie though as there will be money for you in the bogeys alone, never mind the chassis and the fifth wheel coupling if it's still there.

Random update;
actually started doing some work on the car today.
also i have most of the remaining parts i need to sort most of the MOT related jobs, thinking that i will pull the front off side suspension apart after food.
Is changing the wishbone bushes an easy task?

- Aircon sump now fitted, found a LOT of silicone sealant worms in the bottom of the tin sump
- replaced the pipe from fuel pressure regulator to plenum for a Samco silicon one
- Found why the alternator belt was making funny noises, turns out the bottom bolt for the alternator tensioner was completely missing! Whole thing was tensioned entirely based on whatevery strength i put in the bolts when tightening it up! Now i know where that spare bolt is from, knew it was for something important!
- tightened up one of the fuel rail bolts, as it wasnt tight at all
- stopped a leak from the bottom of the oil filler pipe, the jubilee clip wasn't tightened AT ALL (noticing a trend here?)
- managed to get the bleed nipples out of a set of spare front calipers, so will clean them down and fit them

Snot difficult. I recommend a propane burner to remove the old ones and a big hammer to install the new ones.Vanny wrote:Is changing the wishbone bushes an easy task?
No, bigger than that.
... all landings are in fact controlled crashes, and any crash you can walk away from is a good landing. The definition of a good pilot is a man with the same number of landings as take-offs.

Just unbolt everything and take them off. Then as David says burn em out. When this is done, clean it all up. I actually use a screw clamp I made and some swarfega/grease, to insert. Then screw everything back together....job dun

totally disagree, the jobs a twat i give up! on my way to posting some pics but basically i'm in no rush so it can wait (i want to use the car!)
i'm working on a set of spare wish bones at the moment and heat is deffinately helping, but the very outer races of the old bushes (those that interface with the arm its self) just wont come out, i've devised a bit of a mthod, but its really not working in places and i dont want to fuck the arm its self. GRRRR
