Instructions for fitting Canley's Trunionless kit

[Harveyzone]

A bit of a long shot... Some time ago I bought a Trunionless Front Suspension Kit (Spitfire variant) from Canley's after a classic trunnion failure. I am about to fit them but I cannot find the instruction sheet that came with them. I seem to recall it had a couple of useful and maybe important tips on fitting. I cannot find them on their website, and I was hoping to fit them over the long Easter weekend - I don't think that they will be open until Tuesday. 🙁

Does anyone have a copy of the supplied printed sheet to hand that they would be willing to scan, email, or summarise for me?

Thanks.

I can't remember anything about instructions when I fitted mine,all I remember is it was easy
Not much help I know, I think I fitted the top ball joint to the arms before I fitted the trunionless bit
You have to fit the steering arm as the bolts go in from behind, looking at the picture.
That's about it, hope the picture helps

I found the hardest part was extracting the stub axle from the old uprights. Take care that the bottom fixing is well seated in the wishbone before tightening.
Other than that - not a bad job. I also replaced the top ball joints at the same time, saves splitting the old ones from the old upright AND mine didn't look great either.

Or simply contact Dave Pearson for replacement instruction ...... sure he will oblige!

Thanks everyone,

I went ahead and fitted it without the notes, using the advice here. As was suggested they went on fine (once I got the old  bits off!).

Of course, once I had finished I found the sheet, which did have the recommended torque settings, but no real surprises. I have scanned and attached a copy in case it is useful in future...




The MOT is due in a couple of weeks, and I am taking it for a full set of new tyres today, but back on the road again after 7 months off!

hmm,
without going into the garage and looking i don't recall there being any spacers in my kit.are they a later addition?
I bought mine about 5 years ago(still in the box )front end rebuild and brake upgrade this year I think.
who else has a kit with/without spacers?
