Fitted the rear axel today. Unable to fit the rear shocks as I discovered one of the rear shocks that I thought was good is leaking oil. I’ve order a pair of replacements but I expect they will take some time to arrive as they are being made to order. I also replaced the pinion oil seal in the axle and fitted longer wheel studs so I can fit alloy wheels. The brakes on the LH side have also been assembled but I’ve currently left the RH side as I’m trying to find a hand brake lever (automatic brake adjuster) that’s broken on the RH side.

I’m back in the UK so I’ve started work on the Marcos again. Completed building the front suspension and steering today. All that’s left to do is to make some brake pipes.
