What have you done today with your Austin Seven
Hi Jon

I find you need to jack up each spring slightly. I think this stretches and widens the distance between the two spring eyes.  I tighten two nuts against each other on the damper thread of the pin and judiciously tap (hammer) the pin in it also gives you leverage to wrist the pin to get the cotter in.  I’ve heard others taper the end of the pin slightly but so far I haven’t needed to do that.

Cheers

Howard
