Re: Datsunbeginner becomes an expert - Vanilla ute build

While the tubs were being welded and I had a free hand, I was able to put together the rear wheel assembly. Installed new Nolathane bushings on the leaf springs, front/rear and leaf spring shackles. I reused the existing shackle pins and front eye pins but replaced the 4x bolts at the front eye mounting with new high tensile 8.8 bolts. I should also replace the U-bolts and nuts in the future as they seemed a bit quirky putting together. I have a feeling they came from another car or were meant for lowering blocks as the thread is really long.

All painted nice shiny gloss black.
