Service Records
Minilite 13″ wheels are wrapped in 175/70 Goodyear Aquatred 3 tires that were manufactured in 2002. The rear springs, straps, and trailing arms were replaced in March 2020 by British Classic Restoration & Service in Kensington, Maryland. The shocks were also serviced and the suspension points greased at that time. Additional work carried out during current ownership included replacing one shock, the left rear radius arm, and the tie rod ends as well as rebuilding the front swivel axle assemblies and lower wishbones. Front disc brakes were installed under previous ownership, and the system was flushed, bled, and adjusted in August 2020.
