Very sharp indeed. Although, I thought the 1st Series were produced in the mid 1950s.

Not a hope of getting in at them.

Great. That is the info I was looking for. Could not find anything in the manuals. Many thanks.

Just the socket size. I want to remove the wings. Original bolts. As far as I can see, with difficulty, they could be 12, 13 or 14mm.

Hi. What size Bolts secure the wings to the bulkhead on a 1884 Series 3 FFR. Thanks. Chris.

I fitted new Para Springs Front and Rear and new short Shackles Front and Rear. Don't know where to go from here other than put everything back to original. At present it looks something like you would see in American Drag racing. Not exactly what I desired.

I am having the complete opposite problem. Since the rear was raised so high above the front after I installed the new Parabolic Springs and short Shackles, which looked completely ridiculous, estimate about 20 degrees, I replaced the long Military Straps with the shorter Civis Straps in order...

The original Straps I removed from the 109 FFR, which was fitted with original Springs and Extended Shackles, are exactly 36" long. When I installed the Parabolic Springs and Standard Shackles the 36" Straps were about 2" to short. Cant remember where I got them. The Civic Straps are about 2"...

Loaded the Tub with concrete blocks and drove it fairly hard down forestry roads. Fitted Standard length fibre Axle Straps. Left the load on it for the week and when removed it was about 2" lower than before, however, I still need to get it about another 2" .lower in order to get it level with...

Will Do. These are the Part Nos printed on the invoice. Forgot to mention, I replaced the Extended Rear Shackles and fitted the Short Std Shackles to the Rear as well.

Springs purchased from A.E.W Paddock Motors Ltd, Matlock. Front Part No SPRPARA01. Rear Part No SPRPARA03. Front has 2 Leafs, inc Main Spring. Rear has 4 leafs, inc Main Spring.

Will check during the day and let you know.

Having searched several web sites and forums, it is, apparently, generally accepted that Parabolic Springs will raise the height of Series Land Rovers resulting in the Front or Rear being either higher or lower than the other. Beware.

Following several searches of other forums, apparently, it is acknowledge that Parabolic Springs will always raise the height of the Series Land Rover. And, will always result in either the Front or Rear being higher or lower than the other.

Interesting indeed. I have the opposite problem. Has to be a Spring issue somewhere.

Just got one of these tools from Amazon.

Was thinking of trying that but doubt if the wife would be as patient.

Have not done anything yet. want to get as much info as possible in advance.

How that I have figured out my problem with the rear suspension on my 109 I was considering removing the Parabolic s and restoring the originals and refitting. Couple of queries. 1, Would I need to replace front and rear or could I keep the front Parabolic Springs, 2, Would removing a few...

Cant say, however, at least I now know where my problem lies. Not sure how I am going to solve it other than refit the original set up, which luckily I kept ,and put up with the hard ride. Perhaps, mine is just a one off case. However, it is something that anyone considering changing to...
