cheers UJ.. I normally use soapy water on the Speargun rubbers, or 'goo' brand wetsuit lube.

cheers Guys.. off to repco tomorrow then You guys are tops! Sorry for dumb questions but I am no mechanic, this is a learning experience

seriois question guys, nor al grease or some special grease. I think nolathane ones come with something special. These are just rubber ones

OK I am about to slip some new bushes into the rear shackles of the 'box. I expect they will be tighter than the neighbours cat to get in. Do I use normal grease or something special like his and hers KY jelly?

OK I will talk to those fellas when it is time to get that done. Looking at most lowered road anglias 2" is heaps to drop em, so turning the eyes may be too much Cheers Felixx

Cool, so it might pay to get the springs done to say 30mm, then use blocks to finetune the final 15-20mm? Cheers for the help guys. UJ I wonder why you asked if I had lever arms or telescopic?

Hi UJ, I still have lever arm shocks. Will this make a difference? And Beaver, No offence taken. I just want to do this right.

OK just fishing for info here. In the future, i would like to lower my anglia about 45 -50mm It has leaves in the back. These are 1967 vintage. My first question is can you retemper leaf springs for a lower ride height? If so how much does it cost to get done properly? Or should I just use blocks? Please give me the pros and cons for both. Sorry if this is a stupid question but I am as mechanical as a goldfish.

Poor bastard will be posting pictures up 3 times a day if he does that!

I think a 1200 precrossflow. It seemed pretty happy pootling along, but he doesnt push it.

It found some friends!

I think we can all say that about our machines

That you do Pete.. it is a thing of beauty

Hi Ranter, no I havent.. will have to have a peek. Rumour has it . that Dave (the guy with the dark blue anglia) wants to do an overnight run to kaikoura - more info as I get it. It is an anglia van at the end, it belongs to Graeme from enfords.co.nz

If you get really stuck, phil at belfast auto electrical is a good bloke. If you want his number PM me. He has a few cool cars stashed away so understands our disease!

we had a few cars show to the anglia meet. 2 anglia saloons, 1 valiant and a wolsley Cheers for a good day guys

anyone cumming to todays meat?

Burrowsj >Enford have rubber bushes for $5 each (rubber) or set of 8 nolythane for $60 I rang butlers and he quoted $45 each for tierod ends. I will go in and order a pair on thursday.

I will buy you a beer for offering:)

Hi guys thanks for all the feedback. Spoke to Butlers about the tie rod ends $45 each or so, thought that was pretty good. Cheers for the tips about the bushes. Enford have rubber ones for $5 each or $60 for a set of 8 nolathane ones. I will just get the rubber ones for now I think,Although I will happily trade your nolythane ones for beer Dan

No WOF for me, bushes on rear springs and worn tie rod ends, Ah well

I am not smashed, wish I was.. off to bed.

LOLs, nope I have a plan for her. She will look good AND be driveable.

It would be worthy of so much praise, but with the mighty 997cc producing 39 BHP having it that low would be a waste. I want it to be driveable on chch roads, so should raise it by 2" On lotus steel rims it will look goooood

nah 2 inches is heaps on one of these. i dont want to trim the guards (which you need to do). I have some decent speed humps either way when I turn out of my street too!
