Ok, so I know it’s taken a long time, but the car is back together and it’s almost back in business.
After changing the rear hubs (126 bis courtesy of Mick), putting on the front discs and callipers (Fiat 124, 126 stub axles), new shocks, pads/shoes etc.
I took it for a little test drive up and down my road last night and it was quite promising. With just a few things I think I need to fine tune. Firstly the tracking is totally out and I was almost scraping my new tyres across the floor! What’s the best way to sort this? Probably best to take it somewhere and get it done professionally?
Also, when I apply the brake, there is some knocking; I think it is partly due to the tyre hitting the arches (which is something I have to sort, also scrapes in full lock)
In addition, what is used to connect the handbrake cable to the lever on the rear backplates?
Is there any other things that I should be checking and finalising before I re-commission the car back onto the roads?
I also plan to fit some 15mm hubcentric spacers to the front as, I could use the extra clearance, and would not dream of using the car with the current 10mm flat spacers.
