Ok...so each year I fail to get a 2CV ready for the camps...right on the edge of needing an MOT...so working on the Bamboo
.... but look at this...I need to sort out a few things and ordered a new set of King Pins.....
In fitting them this happened...
What kind of crap am I being sold here ?

I appreciate is a rubbish pic as my camera isnt working properly. But last year had an advisory on the king pins and brought a new set and hoped all would be fine as I have the tools and "drifts" to do the job....done it before.
In replacing them one of the top bushes broke up. Now it wasnt me hitting them with a big hammer...if it was I would take the blame..this was actually Phil S who turned up and tried to do the job in a more sedate way, using a brass drift and going carefully. We were very careful and I dont think this is our fault.
Surely this is just rubbish parts,....it shouldnt break up like this....surely not....
SO BEWARE OF YOUR REPLACEMENT KING PINS....SOME RUBBISH OUT THERE !!
It wouldnt be so bad but the fit on the bushes was crap anyway...we made up a decent set from a combination of all sorts...not really what I wanted to do.
The spare parts we have can be so rubbish...watch out what you buy....
.....or is this normal...
Why sell junk ?
ARRGGHHHHHH
