Well, finally a good day came to the twin cities, and I'm now back in the
game of getting the Spitty in gear.
The first thing on the list was the brake discs. This was fun. According to
the Haynes manual, it shows a guy putting in a screw and supposedly from the
screw going in, the little hub cap pops off. Of course, they never tell you
WHAT kinda screw will do it. I must of broke about 5-6 allen wrenches and
tries 5-6 different screws being all of the wrong size/type. A few dents
later, and a big hole in the hubcap, it was off. Of course, that was ONE
little hubcap.
Getting the 20 year old disc off the hub was fun too. Apparently one of the
mounting bolts had some extra metal fused onto it, and I had to file it down
liberally to get it back on.
But, now, one of the discs makes the whole part of the car look a LOT
better. heh.
Anyways, anyone know the exact screw I should be screwing in there(I dont
even see any threads inside of the hub cap), and what is the EXACT enfloat I
should have to the nut w/ the cotter pin to the axle stub? It says to do it,
but does not list the actual endfloat clearence.
I'll be working on the car tomorrow morning, but checking email before I go.
any replies across the pond or from any late nite locals would be
appreceated.
Oh yeah, gonna plug my Spitfire web page again,
