Re: Re: 1955 Traction 11B “Barn Find” Project

Bit of a nightmare today. I started putting the upper swing arms back on. The to ball joints went in OK (well I say OK, they went in…. it has been a while since I took them out 😯 ). But I was having a right job with the bottom ball joints. There was a lot of play and I mean a lot of play. Until I realised I was missing the top bearing race which I now realise I had left in the lower swing arms when I did the exchange with Classic Automobile Services in Holland. Sent them an email and they are posting them back (after telling me they were in a bit of a state 🙁 ).

I carried on an installed the brake backplates and the flexi hoses just so the day was successful.

I also put on the steering rack that I completed last night.
