looks bent on that one mate.

Get another hub and trial fit before you get new bearings in....im sure this will see you right.

if it was bent the shaft wouldn't slide in at all.

The crack and break up, they don't bend.

:D

Did you replace the hub mate??

[jwarren2k2]

I haven't done yet mate.. Just bought a pair off SamboRT! Ive got a day off thursday so if the hubs get here before then, i should have the beast back on the road! Then I'll get it to my uncles to sort the sill and get the new wheels sprayed black with polished lip to match the rears!

I will keep you all informed on how it goes on thursday!


Thanks again for all of your help! This forum is the dogs danglies!!

James :D

yeah thats fooking bent. First bent one I have seen.

Seen the caliper mouting tabs bent slightly after fitting a bearing. But never the mounting, seen plenty of fractured ones.

Same with rear axles they fracture instead of bending normally.

[jwarren2k2]

haha! that's why i looked past it at first cos there are no signs of it bending or fracturing! oh well! just sent the payment for some hubs, so hopefully i'll be sorted!

Got it all fixed last night and took it for a first test drive!
all seems good!

Got the tracking sorted today... it's now spot on!
Spent the evening sealing the sunroof too so I hopefully won't get any leaks ever again!

Can I just take this mometn to say a massive thank you to everyone that's helped me out! Its really appreciated!

Gona get a couple of other bits sorted to get it spankin' again, then after xmas probably have to let the beast go! It's ashame really cos the engine is really good and strong! Well, thats what BBPT said anyway! May have to make way for a willy 3 though!

Got a couple of months yet tho!

Thanks again,
James
