Front Uprights

Front uprights removed from the car in a sorry state. Showing early signs of corrosion on the rear face, a siezed bearing and an out of spec M12 Hub Bolt.



Degreased with 'POR-15 Marine Clean', and lightly buffed with a wire brush drill attachment. New bearings fitted along with M16 hub bolt kit A111C0137S from Lotus. Hub Kit £29, bearings £70, labour £30. POR-15 starter kit £20.

Coated with 'POR-15 Metal Ready' and given 2 coats of silver 'POR-15 Rust Prevention' paint. Not too worried about the paint thickness on camber, as I already had -2 degrees at front (too much) already and this was with some shims still in place.
