so the fun continues, this is really starting to piss me off now, so I did some measuring, worked out if I decambered the springs 3 inches it would be close to where I wanted it, wrong, still to low
at least the springs are now back on top of the axle, and the rear shackles are back to standard length
so the new plan is an inch spacer block/ few layers of old leafspring between the axle and leaf to get it back up, but my spring clamps are too short, quick phone call to a couple of transiteers more knowledgeable than me(cheers jono and matt) so I'm now on the lookout for a set of spring clamps off a multileafsprung transit
found some on ebay, fookin ell £17.60 ea, you boys were right, oh well looks like I gotta dig deep, again.
oh and ive made a start on the revised exzorsts
cheers chaps
more soon
(if I don't torch the fecker)
