Rear Springs
« on: November 13, 2019, 08:38:25 »
Hi All,

Does anyone have a set of rear springs at hand?

I'm wanting to know if the rear springs have the same top and bottom treatment/ends as the front springs? The bottom winding ends in a straight edge.

I've attached a pic of the front springs as an example. If someone has pics of the top and bottom of the rear springs that would be appreciated.

Rgds, Joe

PS. I've also attached a pic of the rear spring retainer - hopefully its the correct one as an example and I'm aware of the top and bottom rubber mounts

Joe,
My rear springs are in a shelf somewhere. Unless someone come answer your question prior, I will find them later and send you some pics.

your springs should have color markings, as pictured, to indicate spring pad sizes
