Parked next to a reconditioned Stationwagon yesterday that also had BritPart springs.......so after examination I can say that my 6 year old galvanised chassis has far less clearance from the front spring hanger bolt holes to the chassis than the other new galvanised chassis I just saw. So after...

Thanks for the comment, I am quite surprised and if things don't improve in the next few hundred miles I will buy another set from another manufacturer.

Well back in town and have had a look at the steering rod etc, dosen't look like it's been hitting them and the clunking also happens when the front axle drops.......I'll give it some time and re-torque everything up but I still don't like how the front of the springs are touching the chassis.

Thanks, for the pointers gents. I'm away for a couple of weeks now but will check when I return. The bolts were threaded into the inner holes but there were no markings for left and right springs which surprised me.

Thanks for that, I suspected it would not be a piece of cake. We'll have to see what to do..........

Hi there, I'm considering putting my 1992 RHD body onto a 1982-1984? LHD chassis. Can anyone tell me if the body work will bolt on ? I have the steering eqpt. etc from the older LHD chassis and will probably use the LHD dash.
