Re: SP Workshop Manual Wrong Again
well, look at that will ya ?? quite so the second and fourth lines are reversed from correct.
Had never looked but knew the correct feed pattern in 1970 with my first SP.
Put that with the incorrect rear spring static setting that has caught many out .
Cheers

Re: bottom suspension bracket shims
The need for shims is governed by how straight/ org. the chassis and vtl. links are . If a turret is twisted or bent out /in there can be a lot of shims/packers needed to bring back even to std settings . If there is not a degree of experience in setting this up i suggest re-assembling the lower arm...

Re: SP 250 rack and pinion modification

Re: PROPSHAFT FRONT UJ
yep, the std. SP has the driveshaft and yoke connected by the universal . still need to disconnect the four 3/8 bolts at the flange a the back of the gearbox.
The w57 range has the yoke on the shaft which simply pushes into the tail-housing of the box. Easy removal.
