Hanging out with Zebedee!

In the earlier post I showed how I've lifted the rear spring seats. I've used the same idea this time but with a slight change. The bolts I have used to hold the seat to the axle go right through from the top and are partially threaded so they don't crush the seat but just nip it enough to hold it tight this means I didn't have to mess around getting a spanner into the centre hole to tight it down.

Using the Nutsert tool tool I was banging on about recently I popped in two captive threads opposite each other, these will hold the pieces of flat metal that steady the spring.  I know my spring retainers are two pieces of  pre-drilled  flat steel. I'm sorry but in this case I really feel that function over looks has to prevail. I can't bring myself to pay more than what the brake pads cost on two strips of metal when I've got fifty foot of this stuff going in a skip. Right that's my Scrooge moment over with and here's the pics........
