Beam blades...

Post by Merlin »

's up all?

The '66 has got shocking suspension.

Judging by the PO, the bug was modified to a well-known vintage tuner book...which is far from correct for these days, hence the complete engine rebuild recently.

...but, this suspension...

I'm fairly certain the torsion bushes front and back are shot, but I also suspect that a blade or two has been removed from somewhere in the front beam.

1. How can I check this, and can it be whilst the body is on?

2. Where can I source single blades locally?

Thanks, N.
