Building a GD427 Cobra Replica

While waiting on the return of all the suspension components from the galvanizer, there is not much to do. One thing is to prepare the rear hubs for buildup.

I started to put in the bearing tracks. The fulcrum ones are relatively easy.

The innner and outer bearing track is a different story though. Even with the proper bearing drifts it takes quite a bit of hammering to drive them home. After having done two, or rather one and a half i phoned the local garage with the question if i could use their press. That made it a lot easier! It did hurt a bit too see my hubs getting dirty again though. d55fa93843f7f09cb422efdeec15c2f1 65f3d5284cef500e1450220b99f111ff

and the stuff is blue! I’m sold.
