Hows fatherhood Johl? My young bloke loves chilling in the shed whilst I work on the 86 - I'm sure yours will too soon!!!

Nice bits, LCAs look trick as! Strange that your steering arms wont go on, when i put my T3 ones on recently they slid straight down! Maybe you could use a pulley puller but in reverse to get them on?

Have you seen the megan racing tie rod ends sleeka spares sells on ebay? Im thinking of grabbing some. There adjustable so might suit your purpose?
