Being somewhat new to restoration, I'm just surfing through some the postings, concentrating more on the C3's, I just happen to read the C2 posting on what bolts to torque and not to torque before the body drop.......say what???
What bolts not to torque? Now how is someone gonna know that without accidently coming across this?? although someone sometime ago did elude to the fact that the rear spring bolts shouldn't be torqued down until the wheels were on the ground during a spring re-installation.
What else does someone need to know...and not by coming across it accidently.
This group needs an FAQ for stuff like this. It doesn't have to be written by one person, as long as it is sanctioned by others.
Ya, I know, money, time, who's gonna administer it, etc etc. But it sure would be nice for newbies like me that are probably gonna do something stupid that the experienced guys all know and take for granted....gee doc, I undid this bolt and this spring thingy came flying out and cut my finger off....
