How time flies!!

Well, I finally got the wishbones finished, I reckon at least 20 hours labour start to finish for all four front wishbones.

Same as before, start with a layout;

And end up with a wishbone!

OK, I skipped a fair bit of effort, and this is only at the tack stage, but to be honest the uppers did go together a lot quicker than the lowers. Again, there's a gnats hair difference between the two.

I had some old tube to hang them all from, so first was two coats of Screwfix red oxide primer;

Then two coats of hammerite copper;

And then fit the polybushes (I didn't need to do this stage, but it felt good to see them slot in perfectly!)

I also got all the front brackets fitted. To be honest, I expected this bit to be much harder than it was, but thanks to the advice of Phil from Talon my front frame had been welded up to host the brackets from the start. Everything just fell together, face against face and welded perfect.

Note the reinforcement behind the front upper wishbone bracket. It's just a triangular chunk of square section welded up, not overly pretty but it gives me confidence that it will stay put!

I do like some of my welding, although other parts are a bit messy. They've all got very good penetration, almost too much in some places.

The wishbones fit beautifully into the brackets, and the coilover bracket is perfectly in line. Very very happy with the front suspension. On to the rear.... again...
