I fitted the new shocks, springs and arb to the racer this weekend in about 4 hours. I was expecting it to take way longer than that (if I was even able to do it). The springs ended up being short enough that I didn’t need to compress them. It is a bit of an arseache on a b because you can’t use compressors and the worry was that the car isn’t heavy enough to compress them.
I also found (I think) the cause of the oil pudding out the front of the engine. I * may * not need to pull the engine!
