Took the old boy for his first inspection the other day and mechanically sound, just a few niggles which I sort of new about. No horn (now resolved). No number plate lights (now resolved, but apparently it's been on the wrong side for 36 years according to the test center........). Frame number different than typing error on registration document (been like that for years...). After all the forum help and tweaking he was good and roadworthy. I'm sure they just wanted to find something wrong with such an old beast.
One thing that did pop up is I need flared wheel arches as the tyres stick out past the body - but only on one side...... (Passenger, short axle side). When you look down the body from the front it's about 1 inch out more than the drivers side.
So, what could have caused this and what do I need to readjust. Looking for the usual expert guidance before I go blindly unscrewing bolts and trying to manhandle it over. Everything looks and feels right, but not having anything to compare against I'm non the wiser......
Dark outside now but will add photos tomorrow if they are needed.
