Suspension and Brake refit prior to Silverstone

As of last night the car is back together and almost ready to roll for the Silverstone round this coming Saturday.

Replacement Front Discs


The discs finally arrived from HiSpec after lots and lots of chasing but to give them their credit, they are a perfect fit. Here you can see the new front disc reattached to the near side front wheels where we had the failure at Donington.

Here you can see the comparison between the old front and new front discs, as I have chosen to run both fronts on the new discs to keep them even. The original disc from the offside will become the spare to sit along side the spare rear disc we already have which we used temporarily on the front.








Crack Testing of Suspension
The result of the crack testing was that we saw some small cracks in both of the top wishbones on the near side suspensions. I took these over to Steve at Concept Designs and he has re-Tig welded these points. In fact once the plating had been removed, he could not see any cracks in the welds themselves so it looks like it was just plating deep. Anyway he has added another weld on top to be certain and these are now back on the car.


Last night I refitted these suspension back on the car. All we have to do before our Friday evening run over to Silverstone is to check the geometry and add some fuel.
