New front rotors with freshly powder-coated front hubs. New bearings and seals. I had to go with 18mm clamp-nuts and thrust washers due to the late-style Bilstein struts.

Fuchs were restored by Harvey. I asked for this finish which is slightly brighter on the lip. The rim is more frosted, and the center simi-gloss black. If I remember, Harvey said this was on original style used on 15" in mid '70's. These are 7x16.
I really like the look and just set one on the hub to see what it looks like. Looks great to me. |

I had some spare time this weekend to assemble the trailing-arms. New bearings, fresh plating on hardware and the original 6 hubs and stub-axles.

What did you rebush the rear trailing arms with? They look like rubber.
