I also pressed the old bushings out of the eye bolts.

Easy-peasy with the press. Ready for the replacement bushing kit!

I also took on the mangled retaining ring/bellows support. Not sure how the PO did this.

The last thing I did was make some paper templates for the center console pieces. I will probably have these recovered (after I repair the PO speaker holes), and I want to know where the screw holes are.

Besides all the garage work, and sending things out for various services, I am also deep into the hunt for replacement parts, both new and used.

Here's a replacement for the throttle crank arm, and the push-rod that was bent on my car.

I tried mounting some bushings today, starting with the A-arms. My first attempt involved my bench-top press, and supporting the rear end of the arm with a sketchy arrangement of blocks.

Then a bit of garage cooking to soften up the bushings (and heat up the metal parts). Note to married guys: using the camping gear avoids any evil looks in the kitchen.

Unfortunately, my first attempt failed. I ripped the inner edge of the bushing (I think the installation tools closed on each other). And my sketchy press support started to bend the flange on the A-arm. Time to think about plan B.

Waiting for more stuff before playing with bushings, so I cleaned up the pedal cluster. Happily, almost no corrosion.

And some PO already installed bronze bushings.

I pondered using the pedals as they are, but..nah, more stuff for powder coating.

Back in town, and a bit of time to kill--and new toys to try out. To repair threads on one eye bolt, I ordered a 16 x 1.5 metric die. Fortunately, only the first two rounds of threads are messed up at all.

Very quick and easy to cut out any distortion that was binding.

Then I used my new 16 x 1.5 tap, to dress the threaded hole in the rack.

Again, very easy with only very minor torque necessary to bottom out the tap.

Mission accomplished. The eye bolt now threads smoothly into the rack.

I started working on the trailing arms today, with the pivot bushings.

I pushed a bushing onto one end of the pivot.
