Thanks for the advice everyone . The old exhaust is still fitted. It works alright , just rusty and the back boxes are crooked , so not sure if they could be straightened up. Stainless does look blingy though . Will try to rejuvenate the one that is on first. Never thought about the trailer...

Will it be alright to do this , with it out of gear of course ? or will the driveshafts flail about like some medieval torture device ? Driveshafts are resting on horses at the moment . No rear wheels or hubs fitted. Quaife gearbox. Could do with a run . Also if I know the block / heads /...

Need parts for RCR40.

Alright , so it looks like the only way to do it is assemble it , put the wheels back on , set it down on level ground then measure the camber/toe . If it needs adjusting , jack it up , take the wheels off , pull the lower wishbone out , turn the Rose joints in or out, reassemble , repeat many...

I'm having some trouble setting up the camber on the front after replacing the Heim joints & ball joints. The car is up on stands at present, no wheels or hubs. From what I have read you level the lower control arm then measure the angle between this and the face of the steering knuckle. The two...

Thanks for the advice everyone . Looks like I need to do some shopping then . I would think they were used because 8s are near impossible to find over here. Most of the fasteners look like 304 apart from the two on the lower rear wishbones , brake discs and caliper mountings . Engine mounts...

Just like to say a thank you for all your help & advice regarding fasteners. Ed.

Thanks, I've been looking at the yellow zinc plated type. The sizes in the photos range from 3/8" for the hub bearing bolts , to 5/8" for the lower wishbone mounting bolts. So would you not risk driving it on the road at all with stainless bolts in these places ? I have also noticed a few...

Thanks for the replies. From what I can make out, 304 stainless steel are not even up to Grade 5 spec. Most people say never use them on suspension components. I don't want to change them all if it isn't necessary but on the other hand I don't want any wheels or bits falling off either while...

Hello , Please could someone tell me if all or any of these bolts should be grade 8 ? Particularly the hub bearing mounting bolts (1) , at present these are 304 stainless passenger side & grade 8 at the driver's side, so probably swapped a hub bearing at some point and used the stainless...

Could someone please help me with a part number for a lower ball joint for an RCR40 ? I can't see any reference numbers on it. Thanks.
