The Brookfields Special

[Howard Wright]

Hi All

I’ve not posted for some time, partly due to having family over Christmas and partly from having a decorating break.

I’ve succumbed to numerous comments regarding the ride height of the car and had the front spring reset.  I pondered long and hard and eventually went for a camber of just 1”.  This afternoon I fitted the spring and am quite pleased with the result.

Unfortunately there are knock on implications.... the steering arm (a high chassis arm which I had crack tested) puts the drag link too close to the flitch panels. I will also need to swap over the track rod arms to give more clearance under the sump.

I have made other progress over the last few weeks.  All the wiring is now complete apart from a high level brake light which I want to fit.  I have four rear side lights and two brake lights but the car is mat black!

I’ve also been busy with the sewing machine and have a tonneau for rainy days!

Cheers

Howard
