Hello J, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed regarding the KP / Bush scenario, but as I say remain open minded regarding stiction on my car until proven one way or the other.
I've also had a couple of excellent off group posts about KP / Bush history and the effects of what wears first and how, so I have a couple of other factors to take into account. There is a line of theory that suggests (providing the bushes are OK) changing to Hard Chrome KP's whilst in pieces is a worthwhile option on it's own. This is easy but it's success depends of course on the state of the bushes. It seems that the KP wears a lot faster than the bush which is at odds when compared to normal practice. But then these are Morgans so.............?
Mulfab were really helpful on the phone yesterday. They don't stock the shortened rebound springs and were not over excited about fitting them to a road car. Having read PJB's notes a couple of times now he does make a compelling case for their fitment - but they have to be just the right length or you could actually make things worse. Very sobering because I've had enough of "worse" with the 180lb springs.
I need to continue reading PJB's stuff and fully mentally assimilate the content. I keep saying to my wife I'm not overly stupid - just slow.
Fitting shortened rebounds would be an easy option on reassembly and too good an opportunity to miss, but they have to make things better. One things for sure though - you can't protect that rebound spring area enough from what the road throws at it.
Cheers, Bob
