Subject: Re-setting Rear springs
Are there any guide-lines to give when re-setting rear springs. I have an old sketch from Peter Whenman which indicated
7" -- 7 1/2" from a line between the centre of the two shackles to the centre of the top leaf. But then he added "but it's all trial and error". My recollection was that the body sat too high and there was too much bounce so AKVR re-set them but I don't know what dimensions.
I also have inherited some un-labelled data sheets whereby on a sheet numbered '24' it gives a dimension of 6 3/4" - 7"
Finally, any particular company reccommended. On my HRG I have always had excellent service from Fenix (in Devon)
