I usually buy our friend Jeff a 24 of Keith's for his troubles

I'm going to let @Slick do my few install pieces in a few weeks.

Too bad about the parts mux up but in sure Andre can get it worked out for you.

Cheers

I'm all over the beer thing Ken. I asked Jeff about compensation and he said "one beer". I asked what kind and being from NS he had to say Keith's.

Next week at Calabogie, I'll be presenting Jeff with a case of Keith's. Jeff and I go back about 10 years and some of the equipment in the shop was actually delivered to my house before making it back to his garage (the tube bender lol!). He was thinking of starting a fabrication business back then and I was his first "official" customer. Good times!

@Slick Let me know if you want to deal with your supplier or if I should call the North American Whiteline distributor. So I have only the rear subframe bushings installed and they were relatively easy to install with the car on the hoist. Pressing out the front LCA bushings was easy but pressing in the new bushings was a bit tricky. The install went well after "persuading" the LCA's back into bolt-in position. The shifter bushing was a piece of cake - just a whole pile of nuts to remove.

Finally the long stud install in the rear was mostly trouble-free after removal of the hub nut. However, Jeff needed to fabricate some custom tooling to press out the old studs and press in the new.

That does sound like a long day. I can't imagine how long it would have been without a lift.

Sorry to hear about the issues, send me an email back and we'll get it figured out.

How do you charge for access to a public lot I am willing to bet OC transport has no idea this event is happening. So I might go and there is no way I would pay a dime.

apparently it has been cleared with the city and the cops. the post said they have so many responses that it exceeds the space in the lot, hence the tickets to control how many people get it.
