After getting over the disappointment of my failed brakes. I've picked myself up and hopefully focused to get the car on the road, albeit 6 months later than planned.
So I've removed the CSP master cylinder and returned it back for invesitgation. In the mean time I've ordered a new one and am waiting on it it's imminent delivery.

Over the last few weeks I've been trying to sort my front air ride suspension. It seems that when I fitted the Monroe airmax shocks to the standard spindles and with the beam at it's lowest setting, the compressed length of the shocks actually increased the ride height
Fortunately I actually bought the car with drop spindles fitted, and during the restoration opted to put standard spindles back on. So all i needed to do was dig them out, clean and paint them up and fit them.
Unfortunately removing the discs of the standard spindles meant I damaged the inner bearing on both sides trying to get it off the spindle.

So I had to buy x2 new inner bearings.
And also as there is a bump stop adaptors fitted, it meant that my ball joint splitter wouldn't fit

so I had to wack them off with a ball joint splitter fork. x2 split tie rod botos later they are off. So I now have to replace the brand new boots for brand new boots.
New inner bearing fitted, boots fitted and newly painted dropped spindles fitted.
