Scrutineering Item - Idler Arm Reinstalled

So, a couple of things bear talking about here before getting on with the blog post... the first thing is that this is the FIVE HUNDREDTH blog post on the Booger Mobile blog!!  Thanks to all the supporters and readers who have been along for the ride...

The next thing to talk about is that Team Booger Mobile will definitely be attending the 2015 Camp Quality esCarpade!!  It was looking pretty shaky with Damian not having any work on, but he has since picked up a new role, and they are very kindly going to let him have the time off for esCarpade!!

On with the blog post... Here's the fancy idler arm repair kit that was kindly donated...


After running around to get the two halves of the bush pressed in, Damian refitted the idler arm - the bush itself is a solid bush that is able to be greased, with bearings top and bottom to provide the rotation.


And everything reconnected...


Also sorted out by Damian was the removal of the two spare tyres that were purchased in Hay last year (after the two blowouts during the event), to have a spare pair of Kumho R700 rally tyres fitted... the last of Damian's Kumho tyre stash...


The painted rims look pretty trick too!!
