Slow Progress with suspension

Starting to make a little progress, we have fitted the rear suspension, but only after discovering that the manual is wrong, it says that the rear uprights should be bolted on, after an hour of two fighting with this, a phonecall to Westfield revealed actually the manual should be ignored and the bottom of the uprights fitted on a bronze coloured stud as shown in the picture

so having got the rear suspension on eventually (fitting the damper units on inside out was not too clever) we moved on to the front suspension...where we had a little fight with the headlamp mounting brackets that need to be bolted on to the same bolt as the top front wishbone, since at the other end they are bolted in to a clip that I guess cannot be welded to the chassis with great tolerance a good degree of persuasionis required. Eventually a phone call to Mark at Westfield gave a good tip, bend open the welded clip a bit (that's what screwdrivers are for isn't it) and then fit the bottom of the bracket over the bolt on the wishbone and then 'persuade' the top into the clip with a soft headed mallet...

The offending item is shown below...

Our next journey of discovery was to realise that the top wishbones are not symmetrical and that we had put them on the wrong way around (top tip- read ahead in the manual), so off they came again and were refitted.

then we cleaned off the discs (white spirit gave us both headaches) and tryed fitting the front uprights, this was a real pig as (a)spanner, ratchet spanner, socket access were all virtually impossible (b) the top ball joint connection seems to come with a special lock nut which seems to lock on the last thread making it impossible to fix properly, worse the threaded part of the ball joint just seems to go round - oh well had enough for today...if we carry on we'll probably just break something...
