fabulous colour combo imho, above.
Overcame the spring pin dilemmas of Tues and today ground a lead on the second, as advised. Very tight, but all together. It was a bit perilous trying to final-adjust the pins attitude to get the cotters in. Front spring reaming done, and now I can get chassis onto its wheels.
The front spring is negative 1/2" and the rears are flat, direct in the chassis rails with no fibre padding. Will be interesting to see how it sits! What is the safest way of bolting the radius arm lowering brackets in their 'old' position. I've made some alloy spacers, so wondering if 5/16 bolts (tight in the spacers occupying the entire hole through the axle) with large penny washers are enough?
