I posted this on another forum, but thought I might get some valuable input from the folks here at BCF:
Finally got around to updating the front suspension this weekend. I purchased refurbished wishbones and uprated shocks from https://www.mgocspares.co.uk/ and waited for 2 months for a major suspension kit and lowered coil springs from Victoria British. Everything seems to be fine except one of the lower inner fulcrum pins stripped upon install! I replaced it with one of the old fulcrum pins. Now I am left with a few questions:
1) Should I replace the other 3 lower inner fulcrum pins that came with the bad one? They snugged right up, but I am slightly paranoid when it comes to faulty suspension bits.
2) Should I choose to replace them, how could I be assured that a different distributor would offer a better quality piece?
3) What effort should I make to inform the distributor, Victoria British, of the cheap crap for which I waited 2 months?
Of course, the real buzz-killer for me is that in one week I'm due for a week off work and really hoped to spend those hard-earned days off driving the Midget and not working on it.
