svl 818

[svanlare]

Progress on the 818 has been slow of late. The 24hrs of Lemons team I race with is building a new car after we killed the last one. As the electrician on the team I thought I was going to have this build easy, but after moving the fuse box to make room for the roll cage, the car no longer starts or runs. After a weekend of debugging a 24 year old wiring harness I've given up (chasing too many broken connectors and wires) and so I am building a new harness for the car. While 818 progress will be slow, at least I'm practicing the wiring on someone else's car :-)

I could use some advise here however. I'm feeling fortunate as the bolts holes on the front suspension lined up well. But, the brackets that hold the LCAs are wider than the bushing by a good bit. Any opinions on the options of putting a nut on and cranking it down vs. adding a washer vs. just leaving a gap?
