most TF owners will know that the front top arm has a grease nipple, but unlike the F, there isn't one on the TF's rear top arm, well there is now..........





we'll see if this gives the arms bush some longevity.
Interestingly, the same bush is used in the bottom of the OE TF shock absorbers, so a grease nipple could be added to them.

I like this man's thinking! You can never have too many nipple photos either.
Well deserving of a Baldrick award.

I've got the other side in now but I sheared a bolt on the ARB mount (you have to drop the ARB to withdraw the top arm bolt, yet another stunning 'feature' from MG) which now means I have to drop the exhaust and possibly the sub frame to drill out and replace with a nut/bolt. Sometimes I really hate these bloody cars

back end all back together, got away with just dropping the CAT, which was nice

Started fitting new SS brake hoses on the front and on both sides the pipe had corroded into the union but now I have the n/s one free after copious amounts of Plusgas, the o/s is still being stubborn, so I'll leave it over night to let the Plusgas hopefully do its business, If it still refuses to budge tomorrow, I'll replace the pipe back to the ABS unit.

Congrats. -enjoy your Baldrick award for your cunning nipple plan!

I love my Baldrick Award, its what I've always wanted

ahem......I'd like to thank all those who have supported me over the years (she knows who she is ), I'd also like to thank my spanners for standing up to being thrown across the garage, I'd like to thank my 1/2" socket set and my 3/8" socket set, and also my big 'ammer, without who none of this would have happened....ahem
