Finally today I finished the job of adding BA brakes, lower control arms, stub axles and sway bar to Lucifa. It has taken me a long time to get around to it and I guess people would think I am OLD and slow, I am
While I was at it, the new SL springs went into the front, looks so much better now as the front has come down considerably. Here are some picks.

Looks great. Did it all go smoothly? I'm keen to hear how they compare to the original gear.

Something I made sure I did when I cleaned the front was to clean up the ABS sensors, so many people miss cleaning them, even some mechanics

Should be a huge improvement over the AU1 set-up. Thanks guys, was worth the effort, now I need to do the rears, change the Calipers and Discs to BA. I also have a Tickford AU Master Cylinder, 25mm bore as opposed to 22.87, that should add some more oomph to the brakes.

Ash wrote: Good to see George! What is the Tickford M/C from? Is it badged Tickford or is there any other descriptive labelling? There is no Tickford label of any kind but it is 25mm bore. I will have a look tonight when I get home and see what numbers are stamped into it, they are also the same for XR with Ind rear suspension. |

There is something more on the horizon for Lucifa, BA rear brakes with the drilled and slotted discs.

Ash, I got the M/C out of the box today to take a look for any numbers that might help to differentiate it from a Standard one, there is just a stamping number on the body K213-046C and on the top side of the M/C is 05A. At the end of the M/C are numbers as well, C2.5 and 20G0, hope that helps?
Another Mod that I have never shown here in the one I did for the Air Cleaner Outlet from a BA. To attach the BA Air Tube to the AU Air Cleaner I got a piece of 75mm Steel tube from TROYMAN and changed the Air Cleaner outlet bracket for one from a V8 and voila, a Mod was born BTW, I used the original PCV hose, a piece of plastic conduit and an ED PCV hose joined together.
