Good stuff there...
If Russell doesn't have access to a wheel bearing ring removal tool, it's possible to drill through the existing ring at the cut outs and collapse it inwards.

If tightening up its replacement with a drift, care has to be taken not to bruise the threads in the hub carrier...

ken.

im sure this is a sdtupid question, but have you passed russ

as i havent had time to look through posts etc lol

Thanks very much for the excellent advice!

I'm pleased I asked, as I'll have to change it at some point, but Another pair of turned arms with good kingpins and wheelbearings have magically appeared since then, and while changing the hub or the bearing would have been possibly less work, I can change an arm in a few minutes, so I reckon for me at least, and for the purposes of having the car ready to go for an MOT on monday, that's the best option. I have bought a kingpin drift set so I'm going to have a stab at that soon on something.

ECAS to the rescue again. Ordered a kingpin drift set and a new knife edge and clips about 2pm yesterday, and it's just turned up.

Adressed from 'Muff avoiders UK'....

Passed its MOT today, with any luck I'll be able to tax it tomorrow and put some miles on it before it's first 2cving adventure to Snetterton in a couple of weeks. I'm absolutely positive there's going to be some teething troubles, it's sat unused for 9 years or so, and apart from a service the engine and gearbox are untouched, we'll just see how it goes. Anyway, that's that finished.









genuine and sincere thanks to everybody who sent me parts and helped me out along the way. It's really appreciated.

Nice one Russ, looks good.

congrats.

Looks amazing, and I'm a big fan of those wheels, definitely worth hunting some down.

Looks f*cking smart! Well done

Thanks,

Also available are these RAF wheels, an aftermarket option for 203s...



No idea where you'd find a set though.
