suspension would be lowered and the car finished so painting could be made towards the night. I looked forward to an early evening after a long night. Little did I know what was to come. Bert-Ove Lundgren, who loves problems, had been assigned the task to assemble the lowered spindles from Fatman in the United States. It went south.

The spindle is split and consists of a so-called upright holding the wheel axle. The two had been joined together for 58 years and I think you get the rest. Total stop and Bert-Ove disappeared off to his job where a
