Small update

Hearse had its M.O.T. done at RCM recently and flew through with no advisories

Whilst there a full service with all belts tensioners etc was completed too

On the ramps the rear whiteline arb looked like a vintage example, found somewhere off the coast of sussex by the looks only bit not rusted up was the remnants of the sticker

sooooo

New RCM front and rear ARB's and drop links fitted

Huge difference to how the car performed, however! after a couple of spirited drives, got underneath to check all was ok and noticed that the OE arb bracket(s) was rubbing on the new bar this combined with Bansteads thread regarding the OE arb mounts and the huge lateral movement on the bar

decided to alter the rear a little underneath sooooo


RCM rear 24mm bar (front 23mm)
New drop links
Whiteline alloy arb mounts
Uprated rubbers
Stainless steel lock collars

and alls now good with the old girl, spirited drive over and back to Saywell/Goodwood at the weekend and all the lateral movement has gone, car feels so much more stable on the road now........
