I have a 49 Commodore Coupe. Will your screws fit?7XPacemaker said:I have new door screws- 8 per hinge. They are Allen head instead of the traditional Phillips head but the pitch is correct. Let me know if you need any...
Between the kids deer hunting and cold weather I was able to find a day to reinstall the front passenger suspension. It's a fun experience trying to get the spring compressed without an engine in the chassis.
Now to replace the kingpins an bushings and sandblast/paint the drivers side front suspension so it's ready to install next.
Hopefully the weather holds. 40 degrees all week so I have a chance. Haha
I was able to get the drivers side suspension done today along with the backing plates/brakes and front stabilizer bar. I still need to sandblast the drums and knock some new bearing races in and paint. (tomorrows project).
Next I will start the disassembly and rebuilding of the steering column components.
Cleaned, Sandblasted, painted and ready for re-assembly. Trying to keep track of all those spacers is fun!
Nice work! I notice you installed new sway bar links and bushings. Where did you get them?
Your doing some great work ,Thanks for the pics. Shows it can be done without taking it to a shop .
Replaced the seal on the steering gearbox and painted the column. My 11 year old son helped me get it installed the other day. Also installed the center steering link, pitman and tie rods.
Finished replacing carrier bearing and u-joints. Ready to install.
Thanks for sharing. Having your son help is a wonderful thing for you and him to experience. I have six sons some of which were interested in the Hudsons and others were not. Today the lessons learned turning wrenches serve those adult sons who helped on the Hudsons. The others pay someone else to keep their vehicles maintained.
