Just been getting to know my car all over again today.
Bit of a clean, sorting through a few little jobs, not quite ready to get stuck into anything serious but just nice to have it home.
1st task was to sort the rear tyre to front-of-arch clearance. I simply wound the axle back 3 turns on each of the 4-link bars and bashed the arch flange a wee bit.

Can anyone tell me what's missing here? I've looked on Year One and there's a bewildering array of bearings, dust shields and doodads!
