Thanks James. I have decided to modify the ones from off the OE hose assembly and mount to the front leg position. Requires some cutting and filing but will do the job.

That's what I did with the braided hoses on both the ZR and the F.

Trying to fit the ARB bushes to the drop link lower mount, a right biatch! Running out of patience! May need to shave a bit off the leading edge as they keep bursting over the edge of the hole. Tricky little buggers!

got plenty of washing up liquid in the hole and on the rubbers!!!

:hmmm::hmmm::hmmm:

We are getting there.

This weekend got the following done:

• All brake calipers and pads fitted.
• Ball joint gaitors replaced.
• Stainless braided hoses fitted and brackets made for fronts.
• Brakes drained and bled. DOT 5.1 through the system.
• Rear ARB fitted.
• Front arch liners removed.
• Front arches rolled.
• Wheels on.
• Car given a good clean.

Jobs remaining:

• Just need to re-route the rear ABS cables along the LCA, might drill and tap the current pipe supports or remove and cable tie. Will play next weekend and decide.
• NSF coil spring making a noise since I lifted the height a few turns, will drop some oil in the seats to see if this quietens it.
• Adjust handbrake cable.
• MOT it.
• Tax it.
• Mini service.
• Interior clean.

Been busy, looking smooth

Aahhh.. So you bought them Mick. Must admit I dribbled a bit when I first saw that mate, love the wheels and especially on a lowered zs. The arches look great too, subtly noticeable and it really suits the car.

Well done mate, coming along very nicely and looking superb :D

looking good, worth all the effort.

Kathy was having a guess this afternoon as to how much I have spent on it this year. I didn't argue as she was probably slightly under :whistle:

It has been a gradual spend so has been easier to manage. I am not bothered as I have had it since it was around 18 months old and have not spent a great deal on it over those years. Most parts have been consumable items. The wheels were something I sneaked in over a few months and needed tyres regardless as the old 18s were well worn.

Better the devil you know I say and I still enjoy driving it.
