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

I will remove my pump soon and take the spindle to the machine shop to be refaced. – I just don’t want to lose the feeling of being able to start the car each morning (still on the lift) but it feels good 😀

Yesterday, I adjusted the front brake shoes as now there is pressure in the system it forced them out and they were scraping the drum. So now all centred and free – quite a satisfying job as it was maintenance more than restoration 🙂

I also tightened and adjusted the steering balljoints, upper and lower ball joints and secured the swing arms. So all the front is now ready to go. Slight play on one of the swing arms but nothing noticeable, I am just too familiar with it all now. I will keep an eye on it and maybe change out once I have driven for a while.

Then a few more starts….. 😆 😆

I then started with the wings – the right wing is now secure and went on relatively easy. Fits very well seeing as it was a pile of rust and dented metal when I took it off. I also fitted the indicator and headlight unit – I just love those headlights 😀
