Only put them on to get the engine mounts set up
They are back in the cellar now
Bit more done tonight
Got a unf 1” 12 tpi tap to sort the rear adjusters sorted
Ran the chassis threads as they were full of media from the blasting
Then got a corner on
Will have to check I have fitted the correct drive shaft tomorrow as I just grabbed one and whacked it in

2 things for you.
- The upper outboard bush bolts are in slots to allow adjustment for camber. I see you have used the white plastic washers between the upright and the wishbone but have you also used steel washers? The stainless steel inner sleeve is only marginally larger in diameter than the width of the slots in the wishbone. Without a steel washer the sleeve can get graunched into the slot when you do the final tighten.
- It is difficult to see from your photo but I think you may have fitted the wrong upright. The brake caliper sits at the back so the 2 tapped holes should be towards the back.

No washers as they wasn’t any to start with - The upper outboard bush bolts are in slots to allow adjustment for camber.

The white and black plastic thrust washers are what came with the bush kit
Upright you maybe right I need to check tomorrow
You may be right that it did not come with washers but we have seen, and had to repair, wishbones with the bolt slots splayed and chewed up so we always fit steel washers.
To clarify, I'm talking steel washers with a hole size that suits the bolt diameter and still using the white plastic washers (which have a hole size to suit the diameter of the SS sleeve in the bush.

To give protection to the wishbone slot from the bush centre ripping the slotTo clarify, I'm talking steel washers with a hole size that suits the bolt diameter and still using the white plastic washers (which have a hole size to suit the diameter of the SS sleeve in the bush.
