Default Regarding front springs

Diagnosis was correct with a sagging right front spring being the cause of the Chassis lean.

Went out to Hillston on the weekend to consult with the great fountain of Ford knowledge, John Mackie.

We came away with a lot more questions than answers however...it seems that every different model of Ford of the era had a spring of different length and width.

Firstly, here are the specs from the repair workshop manual.

Second photo shows Khaki 2wd spring and Rusty 4wd spring. As you can see from specifications it cant be used as it is not wide enough.

Third photo shows why I cant use passenger side spring either...

Third and Fourth photo confirms widths of springs
