G'day all,
I've just ordered the rear telescopic conversion kit and AVO shockers for my '75 4 seater.
While I am at it I thought I would remove one leaf from the existing 7 leaf pack as I shall rarely, if ever carry two rear passenges or any great weight in the back (I'll discard the four slabs of VB that sit on the rear seat at present when I've finished!
)
A 6 leaf set-up should be a little softer and more compliant and any possible tendancy to excessive spring movement could be mitigated by increasing the adjustment on the AVOs.
Was out in the garage yesterday ( had already been for a long
) checking out what would be required.
Removed both rear seat squabs, custom-fitted rear storage module, metal floor panel and covers over the Armstrong lever arm shockers.
All seems to be reasonably accessible with the exception of the shackles at the rear of the springs. How on earth do you get to these to remove?
Do I have to remove/disassemble more of the car?
I would love to hear from anyone who has done this conversion, especially the removal of a leaf, and as usual, all pearls of wisdom greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Neil.
