Well today I stopped in at Georges workshop and his brother Billy fitted up my new extended brake lines as mine really were stretched to their limits and did a brake fluid flush and my brakes have never worked better (Thanks Billy).
I have ordered my new heavy duty lower control arms from Patroldocta and should arrive Monday but while we were poking around under my car we noticed that panhard rods are next thing to get and the sooner the better.
Under full flex the whole lot moves over so much its hitting things it should not.... I have been paranoid about the lower control arms after I broke one at Tallarook and thought what would I have done if I broke one on one of the big trips in the middle on nowhere so had to get them before this trip.. nothing beats getting your car up on a hoist and having a good look around.
You spot things you never would at home with jacks and stands.
Also today when I got home I thought I would repair my air lines for my compressors and was going mad chasing an air leak..... turns out it was the head of the pump was loose and air was pumping straight past the head gasket!!!!!!
A few things to do before this trip and all to do with suspension and related gear..
P.s if you have not check your brake lines under flex and am running stock lines I advise you check them....
