Day 2 and side 2 - nearside. This time I was more optimistic, having learned a few tricks on day 1.
This is how I did the wrapping with Denso tape.....
This is the difference between the nearside old and new springs.
I've added some neoprene sheet to act as a buffer in case the spring gets near the body. This is offside.
The rear nearside shackle was easier to sort, but those washers were a pain to get right.
The U bolts on this side took longer as I couldn't line up the spigot on the spring with the axle. Here it is, partly located with wooden blocks assisting.
Once the U bolts were properly tightened down - on to the G clamps.
The front fastener was much harder to locate than the offside which went straight in. This one needed some persuasion. Note the neoprene gasket over which fits the spring cover.
And that was it. Two days of hard graft, but worth it!
On this side I fed the spring in from above and it was a bit easier to handle.
I'll post some before and after dimensions once Bumble is back on the floor. And now for another snooze.
