My RP will be coming out of hibernation this weekend for an old car gathering at our local market town Saint Ambroix. Today I have been mainly checking it over from front to back and it was amazing how much needed tightening up again. One item generally not seen because it's behind the front number plate is the front shocker. The centre bolt and star spring needed a tweak as did the end links. One of which is bolted directly to the front axle beam to help reduce the self steer when cornering. The front spring is orignal and fairly flat so locking the o/s shocker arms works well enough for my driving style these days.
Levels checked, greased up and ready to go. Engine started first pull
Passepartout (aka Baldrick,) as bomb aimer and navigator will be with me in case my wonky arm causes any probs.
