Saw this post as I was loooking up torque specs. Thought: “gee, that drain plug is a good upgrade, I should order one”. Then, “you know, maybe I already did..”

Hope everything is going ok. Great thread, lots of tech with a good story mixed in.

Had no idea. The PO took mine off when he did the cruisercorps covers and they've been on the floor under my work bench for 4 years. Didn't know they were worth much. Also, I called $OR and they confirmed that they don't sell the bucket foam for the upper/back seat portion, just the seat...

Ok. The rear is level so I haven’t looked at it, but I will, to first make sure I installed them correctly. Of course I tore off those labels on the shocks but I’m 99% sure I did them on the right sides.

Thanks. I've driven it a lot lately and the imbalance has been impressively consistent, so I don't think it's a KDSS height or speed thing, but admittedly I'v only really measured it at home, so I'll try that. I need a car wash badly after our last snow storm, so good excuse. If all else fails...

Well, after adjusting KDSS three times, it’s kept going back, so I think @bloc, @daneo and others are right: it’s not a KDSS issue. I took the wheels off last night and did a bunch of measurements. The springs & shocks are the same length, but the passenger side hub hangs about an inch and a...

Does SOR sell foam for the buckets? I thought it was just for the bench.

Why do you wash off the fluid film? I've always left mine on.

What I lack in skill, I’ve been known to make up for in stubbornness. 😁

I actually ended up doing it without removing the window at all, but admittedly the C channel up top isn't as snug in the door frame as I'd like, perhaps as a result.

Awesome! I imagine the father in law is pretty pleased with the 40?

Can I ask a question? I aspire to one day have a garage with no drips on the floor. I apparently didn't do my timing cover gasket perfectly so I've got old cardboard under my 40. It would appear that you have something under each of your expertly restored vehicles. Does that mean it's not really...

Well, after 15 mins of driving (admittedly not enough) the drivers side is now 1/2 inch above passenger. Originally, passenger had been 1” higher. So progress! I’ll park it in the driveway from now on and see if it levels out or goes back to high passenger. If it does, then I think I take the...

Well, it measured 37” on pass side and 38” on driver. Back was only off by 1/2 inch. So I opened the valves, lifted drivers side and closed them. At first just got to 38” on both sides. But that’s what I did before. So lifted until I got to 38.5 on drivers side and 37.5 on passenger. Gonna take...

Yes, I think you're right. I'm going to take an early train home now actually so I can go do this. hah!
