WISHES DO COME TRUE

At last my long awaited wishbones are to hand. These very appropriately named bits of accurately welded oval metal tubes are used to connect the wheels, brakes and suspension units to the front of the chassis. They are pivoted on bushes at the chassis end, enabling the front wheels to move up and down.

My intention is to have them chromed and the above picture shows them in their natural state, before I take them along with the exhaust manifold rings to my local electro-platers for chroming, by the time they are ready for collection I should be in possession of the rest of the suspension parts and can begin assembly, then my project will truly begin to look more like a car.
