Ron, I have followed this twice and about to do a third time. Using the scrapers on the bushes and jack under the gearbox. Hardest part is getting the outriggers bolts in while also keeping chassis to K frame holes lined up. You have seen this link right?

Cheers, Steve.

Yeah thanks Steve. Ready to have another crack at getting it in with the bushes around the right way. Difficulty I have is trying to bring the k frame up to the chassis rails and keep it square at the same time (no engine or trans in at present), with only one jack and one pair of hands. LOL. I'll get there. Cheers Ron

Finally got the front end fitted up. Not sure that the top bushes are exactly centred but with no weight in the car I will leave that for now. Most probably one of the hardest jobs I have had to do one out. Hope it doesn't have to come back out. LOL. Cheers and thanks all for the advice. Ron
