Well, After a full 4 years my LC is finally finished, I can't put into words how chuffed to bits I am. 32 years of selling parts I decided I should practice what I preach, "how hard can it be to do a full blown restoration" I said to myself? how so wrong I was! I'd love to take full credit - but I can't, This forum has been an amazing wealth of information. I'd like to thank the following people: Norbo Muttsnuts 4l04ever Kevin Schofield Cliff (RDdoctor) Steve Payne Mark Cordwell midlifecrisird George Dz.. ( I know you'll see this, love you man ) And all the amazing people with tips & tricks along the way. you guys rock. And me (Chris) at Franco's     |

Cheers guys... I'm waiting to be ribbed for having the wrong bolt somewhere lol Front brake hose clamps (small chrome ones). Swap them round to get them sitting sloping slightly downwards preventing kink in brake hose. OCD is not funny  Just an observation but you did ask lol. |
