Those bushes are TARFU Luke!
Bummer about the drop link, good excuse to fit polybushes in a new pair though!

A big thank you to Dave for repairing the dodgy solder joints on the back of the gauges, I didn't have the equipment to do it and Dave has done a fantastic job!

Sometimes you have to pull the bulb out of the holder and refit it to clean the contacts on that, there are some links that might need soldering, going to have to look at mine soon as i've got 2 large and one small out on my cluster. Kind of annoying as they're LEDs and it's a pig of a job getting the cluster out and back in again. Keep thinking about compltely stripping the clust and fitting some reflection inside it and adding some LED strips inside as extra light and loading on the dimmer although i can get mine pretty dim anyway. Might do a few photos when i sort the immediate lighting problem in the cluster but that's a few days away at least.

I've been refurbishing the arms this morning, this the third set I've done so I'm getting quick at it!
IMG-20201216-WA0009 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE I forgot to take a photo of the strut rod in bare metal. IMG-20201216-WA0011 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE IMG-20201216-WA0014 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE IMG-20201216-WA0030 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE IMG-20201216-WA0032 by Luke Ryland - Flickr2BBcode LITE My hydraulic press really has been a massive help with these arms! |

Enlarging it i can see it's the original decals though! Good to hear the 12T press is earning its keep too, does it take much effort to pop the bushes out or does it just push them out without thinking? All great work there, looking forward to more of this!

They are the original bushes so after 20 years plus they are a bit stuck! You can feel the pressure build up then it gets very hard, so a big heave and with a big bang they go and push out with ease. |
