  1. New retaining pins on both spindle nuts
  2. New retaining pins on both suspension cylinders' attachment points to the upper control arm
  3. New protective sleeve brake pad wear harness, port side

all of this enabled me to get both front wheels on the ground. I'm now able to turn the motor, which I needed for distributor installation.

Dizzy:
Now that I can turn the motor, I was able to set it at TDC (or actually 10deg BTDC) to set the distributor in place. I was able to set the photoelectric trigger to the proper firing point at 10deg BTDC. The distributor cap I have fits the older ducellier LA2 dizzy. The dimensions are the same, just that the socket for the #1 wire is 180deg from the #1 socket on the newer LA2LD4 dizzy. on the LA2, #1 is in the same axis as the crankshaft, but away from the motor. On the LA2LD4, the #1 socket is in the same axis, but closer to the motor. So, it took a few rotations of the motor & watching the valves before I knew I had #1 at TDC to place the rotor head at the correct clocking.

Upcoming:
Ordered a M6x1.10x70 bolt for the cooling duct on the port side.
Need to get two filters, one for crankcase oil, one for LHM.
Air intake hose to bridge gap between air cleaner and intake plenum.
