After the wishbone removal destruction episode sorted out some new parts to rebuild the front suspension.

Also sorted out a new fork arm for the gearbox.

For those of you that haven’t seen before look at the difference in the size of the pivot pin on the A610 fork arm compared to the GTA one. The GTA pin is prone to bending so always recommend fitting the A610 version when changing a clutch.

I’ve got stock. Not tried Renault.

Also have a cheaper solution for a handy person that doesn’t mind a bit of diy. Split A610 fork arm with all the good bits intact ready to fit in a GTA fork arm.

Old and much pampered engine has now left the building and gone to its new owner so no going back now.

Test fit of the new rear brakes today. These are not the actual callipers that will be fitted, this is just my billet 4 test caliper which is the exact same fitment as the handbrake caliper.

I don’t but I have to do it to put it back together ready to move lol. Good incentive to try and get stuff done. Similar position with the orange car.
