Just got the Challenger running today for the fist time since Boxing day Romsey meet.
Suregrip now fitted and axle case nicely blasted and painted.
New leaf springs were going rusty so they got dismantled, blasted, zinc plated and powder coated.
The old Timken bearings had seen better days.
Revised improved Superflex bushes fitted to the springs and shackles - creaking eliminated
Sorted the burnt out terminal in the bulkhead connector.
Looking to better PB 14.89 at 97.5 with the Suregrip
Crash helmet beckons
Should be there Friday afternoon

Yep, bringing the Belv Rob. Drove it for the first time this year for it's MOT and thankfully it breezed it.
Not going to be racing tho. Just going to stick it in the Show 'n' Shine area with a For Sale sign on it.
