cool sign!! wish it was hanging in my shop!

Thanks Jan. As I somewhat expected, the shop's alignment machine did not include the Anglia in its list of vehicles. So the technician had to manually input the values you provided. In the end, Caster and Camber came within the specs and toe-in needed just a little tweaking.
All is good again.

Can anyone confirm the factory front suspension alignment specs of the 100E? (or in my case 300E) - toe in - caster - camber I would hope the local alignment guy has that information supplied with his alignment machine, but I want to confirm what he uses. I realise there is not much you can do on th...

Yes, TCAs are "handed". I do remember that posting, worth mentioning here again. I did not know that years ago, when I transferred parts from donor car to this one. Luckily I got it right. Are the tca ball joints available with castle nut? they sent me the nylock type. Maybe the castle nut...

finally wrapped up the strut installation, ball joint rebuild, and the front brake job. And WOW....the strut inserts made a huge improvement in ride. The car feels solid on the road more than ever. Worth the money! I am real happy with the strut inserts! Last thing to do is get the front end aligned...

sorry , somehow my image did not get inserted...this is the brake paste I decided to use...since the seal is on the piston and it will wipe excess grease into the bore where it will mix with brake fluid. one of the supplier websites says this about it: -ATE Paste was developed for use in the repair,...

For lubricating the wheel cylinder bores and pistons, I will be using this "brake paste" which is compatible with dot 3 brake fluid. This has to be much better than using brake fluid as a lubricant! I made an observation while getting the wheel cylinders and backing plates onto the spindle...

Question on brakes: Now that the front suspension is coming back together, I need to look at the front brakes. The wheel cylinders were previously honed and rebuilt 5k miles ago....and working just fine. This was before I let the car sit for 3 months (fearful of the worn ball joints). During this id...

I forgot to mention one other item in regards to the lack of quality of the ball joint....the grease groove. You can clearly see the difference in width of the grooves (new on left and factory on the right). The new ball joint barely has enough width and depth to allow any grease to be distributed. ...

here is the set up I used to assemble the ball joints. I put a dial indicator on it to see how much clearance I have....shooting for .003" to .010". The supplied retaining ring is 0.050" thick while the factory retaining ring is 0.100" thick. I would prefer to use the factory ret...

yes Midnightmaverick...I have over 5k miles on the car knowing the struts and ball joints were no good...I had the rebuild parts for several years now, it's time to get it done. back to the struts; tools I made to remove old nut and install new nut. pic 1 tool made to remove the factory nut pic 2 to...

The small cup is stamped steel and is soft. I put it on the ball and inserted into the TCA, pressed on it with my hand to simulate a spring and the ball stud was hard to move...it was hanging up or binding on the small cup. So I inspected the small cup closely and found raised edges on the inside an...

Regarding the TCA ball joint rebuild.... I welded a rod to the cap and used it like a dent puller. The cap pops off like butter. I am inspecting the ball joint rebuild components and I don't really like what I see. Heavy machining marks in the ball and the spring cups. These two parts are hardened a...

For the struts, The struts inserts look super easy to do. Remove all internal parts, install the supplied parts. here is a photo of the supplied top ring started on by a few threads over the insert... And for those wondering what strut insert to use, I did look around extensively for a part number i...

I found the attachment tab below I will try post pics this way. Seems like it might be painful...I have to get the pics down in size first. First, the springs. I found the 2 indentions: 2 notch.jpg I wanted to see what my other spare springs have: notice the first spring has 1 indention, the second ...
