Hi All,
I am slowly working through my '55 400, bought in April 2017 here in the U.K.
The TL compensator gearbox has one cracked mounting lug and the motor cables have been disconnected. All like this when I got it. With the compensator out of action, what are the implications of continuing to use the car? Does the suspension system rely on rigidity at the compensator? Does removal of the compensator for repairs require the suspension to be 'locked' with the factory tool? These cars are very rare in the U.K. so getting assistance from knowledgeable specialists appears to be difficult. Thanks for any advice offered.
