1966 Factory V8 Valiant Signet Restoration For My Other Daughter
Spent the last few evenings fighting the K Frame. I knew something was amiss as the RH control arm would not set flush on the pin. One of the accidents must have pulled back on the LCA and collapsed the front of the K Frame hole where the strut rod goes through so it was holding the LCA back. A few rounds with the big ball peen hammer and the correct shape of Face of the K Frame emerged. It sets flush now. Put the spindles on the correct sides so the calipers are to the front. Wondered why the stock brake hoses would not work previously. Duh.
Ready for big Red Commando to come home tomorrow!!!!!!
