My sister was traveling around Finland/Sweden so she arranged to pick up the parts, so they are headed back to the US.

Otherwise, not much has been done.

Hah, I visited couple of weeks ago in Seattle and West Coast. Brought back to Finland 2 x rear axle shafts, rear drive shaft, front fender flares, hydro assit goods and plenty of smaller parts all in the luggage. I couldn't imagine somebody is dragging car parts in the opposite direction.

Made a bunch of progress on the lathe, then went and used a friends mill. If anyone wants to do this work, I tried my best to post up how to do it on my thread on IH8MUD.

I had to put two small screw to keep the brake disk on correct place while the wheel nuts are loose. It worked without in garage but on real life the disk was able to move when I changed the tires. After a while the disk was vibrating and it led to soft brake pedal.

Thanks for the info. Easy to do, as I had to drill hole for alignment when I drilled the lug stud holes.
