More parts arrived, so I finished the right head light assembly.

Ready for lamps and trim. I got some LED head lights to try.

I also got parts and hardware for the rear suspension, except for the rubber bump stops. (See my other thread). So I decided to install one shock without the spring to see about dimensions and spacing for the bump stop. Since the Bilsteins are gas-charged, I used a floor jack to move the trailing arm up.

I checked the clearance at the top of the shock, and set it at 2 inches.

Here's where the trailing arm sits with the 2 inch spacing.

Here's the hardware I needed to complete the rear suspension installation, including new M14 lock nuts for the pivot shaft.

With everything laid out, I decided to install the springs and shocks. Once I get the bump stops I can R&R the shocks.

With the rear suspension in place, I can finish up the brake system. Here are all the new and rebuilt components.

I moved the shock spring perch up to the second groove from the bottom, but that leaves some slack space below the spring. I might try the 3rd groove.

I think you need to go a lot higher, like two or three from the top.

You're doing what the guys in the factory did +/- 50 years ago ... and doing an amazing job - all by yourself (IMG:style_emoticons/default/drooley.gif)

Thanks--you might be right. I will have to take the springs off to add the bump stops and can adjust the preliminary height again.

Thanks, Mark. I think they got more beer breaks than me. And they have cooler hats.

I got to play with the rear brakes today. Step 1, clean residue from the new disks.

Mounted the backing plate. More new, re-plated, and powder-coated parts--shiny stuff.
