Rear end work

As well as fixing the handbrake cable in, we also installed one side of the drive shafts into the diff and bolted the hub to the hub carrier. Before we installed it we replaced the CV boots on the drive shaft. We were unable to do the other side as euro car parts had supplied the wrong CV boots and they were too big. Therefore I have to take these ones back and get some of the smaller ones. Next job once I have these will be to install the other rear corner drive shaft. The drive shafts just push into the diff.

Handbrake cable installed


Today I installed the handbrake cable a threaded it though the holes in the chassis in front of the diff. I now need to fix it permanently in place once I am happy with the exact location. I need really to have the fuel tank in place so I can make sure it is in the right place. The fuel tank is on order.
