![]() Good evening all !
I hope I find you all well ! Sorry for being quite over the last few weeks. I've been working on the 411 S4 whilst i've been offline. During that time i've done the following Replaced all 4 shock absorbers on the car to new SPAX adjustable ones. Cleaned down the full underside, arches and chassis and coated it all in black Hammerite and will be Waxoyling or Lanosealing it next. Replaced all inner & outer wheel bearings, grease seals, ball joints and lubricants. Had the gearbox rebuilt and upgraded the rear planetary from 3 pinion to a 4 pinion to cope with the extra bhp and torque from the rebuilt engine. New radiator made by RadWeld who know Bristol rad's very well. Bought a full set of brake discs, callipers, pads and fitting kits for front & rear. Removed the grill and 4 headlights. Ive polished out the grill and ordered 4 x new Lucas headlight bowls. Ill be posting pics soon for you all to have a gander ! Best Hass Last edited by hesketh786; 22-05-24 at 07:15 PM. |

![]() Hello Hess,
thank you for going throu the trouble of writing down the part numbers. I have a question about the front hub bearing: The bearing LM48548/LM48510 is the outer or inner bearing? Do you also know the dimensions of the corresponding bearing? Kind regards Thomas Quote:
