SKINY Posted April 19, 2017 Author Share Posted April 19, 2017 Not much to report lately apart from,Snapped the rear stub axle day before mot so missed it, got a new axl off the legend Jay in portavogie. 2 new bearings, 2 new slave cylinders and new handbrake shoes, failed on rear imbalance out by 1%, it was only off the ramp an hour and 15 mile done so not bedded in yet, back to workshop and turned driver's side shoes upsidedown which improves it greatly. Front caliper wee bit sticky too so pumped piston out and wound back in few times and greased up sliders etc then back to MOT and passed.Its for sale now and the GT4 ended up being broke and parted out Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SKINY Posted April 23, 2017 Author Share Posted April 23, 2017 Ah no way what happened to the gt4?Cylinder 4 was 2 psi compared to 170 odd on 1,2,3 so decided after a while it was worth more in bits, sad day as it was the cleanest one I've seen and i spent months looking for itAh well, upwards and onwards, new project has had a deposit payed on it and will be revealed in the coming while Quote Link to post Share on other sites
