When I bought 409-7355, the front RH suspension looked like this: horrible
|
 |
|
Brake rotors were badly pitted, rusty spots everywhere. It's a tribute to Bristol overengineering that my 409 stopped very well even if the discs were so ruined |

The front LH suspension, view from the rear, 'as found'. I could not think of keeping it this way

Dismantling the RH suspension. Amazingly, the large top plastic 'spacers' were OK but I had new ones fitted anyway |

The RH wishbones dismantled, sanded, painted |

The first stages of the rebuilding of the front LH suspension. Cleaned, de-rusted, repainted, greased, new rubber bushes fitted |
 |
|
The front suspension begins to look better....The brake discs were skimmed by Officina Bugamelli |
 |
|
The discs still show some rust spots but the situation is much improved |

The final result looks very nice and works well |
