where does this part go ...
Hello all,
Well after a few year break I finally got back to working on my 76 project.
Seem to have a couple extra parts that I haven't found a home for - see attached photo.
This year I have been doing a frame up sort of restoration and to date have done:
- stripped everything down to frame
- sand blasted
- painted
- systematically put back together, missed something, took apart, re-assembled - repeat
- getting there though and currently working on front suspension re-assembly
So any idea where I put these seals?
