T0215 - NUT AND BOLT PACK.<br />

The top wishbones T0200/T0201 are difficult to recognise in terms of<br />

passenger and driver side and the top and bottom of the wishbone. Looking<br />

at the pointed end of the wishbone which holds the top swivel, the taper hole<br />

faces down towards the ground. This taper also faces slightly forward. With<br />

the wishbone in the correct position, the front leg of the wishbone is slightly<br />

longer than the rear leg.<br />

Donor Parts required<br />

Two front hub assemblies complete with top ball joints, brakes, callipers,<br />

brake pads and outer part of drive shaft assembly. Steering arm mounting<br />

bushes.<br />

Front suspension assembly<br />

Bush assemblies T0207 should be assembled using molybdenum type grease<br />

included in the pack. Separate all parts of the bush, including the stainless<br />

steel inner sleeves. Grease inside and out of the parts and reassemble inside<br />

the top wishbone T0200. Push the bush into the top wishbone T0200 with a<br />

vice. If the bush will not sit totally inside the wishbone then rotate it slightly in<br />

the vice. Put the bushes in to the top and bottom wishbones for the front<br />

suspension: T0200, T0201, T0202 and T0203.<br />

Install the front wishbone mounting brackets T0204 to the top and bottom front<br />

wishbones. Using the Ø10 x 50mm bolts from fastener pack T0215 (B), keep<br />

the bushes and bracket lined up while other assembly takes place. Have the<br />

head of the bolt facing inwards towards the other bracket. The positions of<br />

the wishbone mounting brackets are indicated on the monocoque by small<br />

indentations. Hold the front RHS wishbone assembly, complete with the<br />

mounting brackets, to the monocoque. The indentations in the monocoque<br />

should line up with the holes in the bracket. Any slight misalignments should<br />

be marked on the monocoque.<br />

Drill out one hole for each of the brackets using a pilot drill and double check<br />

the right position for the holes. Drill the two holes to Ø6mm clearance. Mount<br />

each bracket to the monocoque using a Ø6mm bolt from fastener pack T0215<br />

(A) in the hole drilled.<br />
