Will try to match Phil's picture angle for a better match......

...my first observation ........ shock arm may be longer....
........................................... the attachment at the bottom that is bolted to the axle flange may have a different angle...

...... the centre pin on the springs are wrong and the resulting position of the spring plate is tooooo far forward..??

Phil...... are your front springs design with a centre pin that is not located at dead centre.... which means to get the proper axle distance of 101 inch the springs have to be mounted in the proper orientation...?? Part of the problem here is that Rob is doing his darnest to rebuild it has he found it.... but found condition may be different than original.....

Comments on the off center center bolt any one???

Bob

Bob.

The wheel base is 101 inches, n'est pas? If so, then the springs are not the issue as I see it. The center pin for the springs are as per all of the originals I have seen.

As well, it was that very shock that was connected to the bodged up down link - which I will measure next trip...

As for the lower attachment point, we should have another look at it...

Given the exceedingly poor condition of the old girl, I would not be surprised if the previous owners "adjusted" the mounts.

Ain't we got fun?!?

Keep on thinkin!
