TR6 hard steering up-date/ scrol down to see origin

I have the problem resolved, seems that maybe the DPO, or maybe the CDO( current dreaded owner) (ME) installed the upper whisbones incorrectly. Based on the pics in the bentley book show the long curved arm in the front and the less curved arm toward the rear. At least it only took me an hour to fix the problem, Now the steering takes a lot less effort. I have come to the conclusion that if there are only 2 ways to do something you have a 50/50 chance of getting it right and I seem to get it wrong!! Am I the only Idot here. No reply necessary unless you have done something wrong too

Uh, no, I've, er, never done anything wrong (unless you count installing distributor drive gears and / or distributors 180 degrees out...or somehow mixing up two spark plug wires on a GT6 and somehow still being able to sell it to a friend...and have that friend cautiously explain what I'd done ... or ... ok, I'll stop there. But there HAVE been other incidents in the past....

Don't be so hard on yourself! Remember, all of our cars have within them some life force -- call it a demon, a gremlin, wood nymph (my personal favorite), gnome or the raging tormented soul of Lucas himself -- that makes almost any operation on our cars a challenge to say the least. Having grown up around LBCs, I have come to admire them, but also to eye them with cautious suspicion. Don't get me wrong -- I drive my TR-250 regularly and I've rarely been left by the side of the road. However, when an operation goes flawlessly, I can't help feeling that the proverbial other shoe will drop and some injustice will be dealt to me. My girlfriend calls it pessimism. My father (who has been playing English car for fifty years) calls it wisdom. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbsup.gif
