With the chassis gone to the sandblasters the next few days saw me stripping and cleaning the rear springs.
There was no rust between the leaves which was a great bonus. All the shackle pins showed no wear so that was a bonus as well but the new second-hand lathe was in for a workout with new bushes needed.
New centre bolts were easy to get so I replaced all 4. Large ‘G’ and ‘F’ clamps did the job well compressing the leaves to refit the centre pins.
Regards Rick.
