Front Suspension and Lighting

I have been fiddling with the front suspension today, and this also involves fitting the lighting bracket. The instructions for the lights took a bit more time to understand but I got there in the end.

Before I can progress much further I need the IVA bag. I thought the the kit should come with fluids too, I have brake fluid, but I will enquire about gear and diff oil. The types Caterham specify seem hard to get hold of.

This blogging site does funny things to photos. On my PC the photos that I post are the right way up. When viewed on the iPad some appear upside down... *rotate*

if I take a photo on the iPad, there seems nothing I can do the change to orientation that it will appear.

After re-reading the manual, I redid the lower front wishbone. The chamfered washers need to have the chamfered (sloping face) towards the bushes. I also gave them a bit of copper grease for good measure.

My rubber deadblow hammer is surprising useful for tapping in subborn bolts and washers. I'm also finding that a box of latex gloves is useful - keeps you warm in a cold garage and stop you getting grease all over your hands.

Seeing your pictures and reading your blog take me back almost 12 months when my kit arrived on the 12.12.2013.  I am sat here with a massive grin on my face just thinking about all the fun I had building the car and scratching my head.  Just sorry that the weather doesn't look up to much tomorrow otherwise I would be out in it.  I look forward to your posts and all the best with the build.
