Well, while rebuilding the front suspension and brakes, I found the wishbone cracked and had to replace it. Bad enough, but then the king pins, fulcrums, etc needed rebuilt. Ok, after waiting a week for parts and 5 more days for the machine shop to do the kingpins and bushings, I finally started to put everything together.
So, here's the new problem. The wishbone mount on the right side of the car has cracked and needs to be replaced (see pic please). Has anyone ever done this, and if so, what do I need to be cautious of?
Also, when I bought the kingpin rebuild kit, it only came with 5 kingpin shims, all .011 or .012 in thickness. So, I can't get the kingpins put into the trunion as I don't have the proper thickness shims. Moss and Vic Brit don't even list the shims in their catalogs? Anyone know where I can obtain them in like .003 - .010 thicknesses?
Thanks!
