Front suspension is now on the car, complete with new seals, kingpins, trunnion seals and bolts.  A nice period option is the disc dust shields.

 Front king pin assembly loaded into hydraulic press, centre hub was heated until glowing red. Pressure was applied via the hydraulic press, a heavy hit to the side of the king pin and the whole assemble slid apart....amazing what an oxy and 20 ton press can achieve!

Presto.....the king pin slides apart!

I know that there are a lot of shots of the front end, but there has been a huge amount of work required to get it to this stage......quite proud :)
