Hey Guys,
I finally got the new anti-roll bushes fitted, the old ones were totally fk'd, worst Lee had ever seen apparently, so this should make a marked improvement in the handling...apart from the brakes, & other bits to get done, etc...I discovered the brakes are standard & not MMC, so will need to change these asap, & won't be on the track or hardly on the road until sorted.
Oh, BTW, my experience @ Fakland was very good, they are extremely well fitted out, Garage was spotless & looked very well organised. I felt confident they know Elises very well, what they were doing, & not too pricey either. I will be going back.
One thing tho, (not a moan but observation), was that the screws holding the undertray, which gives access to the anti-roll bushes, required some work...Some required breaking off as they were stuck & head was burred. And even tho this was necesary the undertray was fitted back securely, with copperease on screws left for future work.
I wonder though if the screws can been drilled out & a new thread tapped..? Any experience of this guys..?
Anyway, next up is brakes, then next year a service after the winter, & perhaps the suspension & clutch cable.
I wonder how much work it is to swap all brake discs, pads, & hoses to stainless. Might ask for a quote...
Cheers,
Pete
