Thank Evoman for the updates and measures. I'm sure you'll get everything levelled out soon enough.

Dont thank me :P Those measure of yours were very helpful.

It also matches with rotten set of struts that we used to postion the already replace spring cup. It might useful to have those measurments in a how to guide.

Point taken. How to guide to rotten struts will be pencilled in for a future episode. I've a lot on my plate at this second in time.

That would be good. Take looks of good clear pics. You can never have enough pictures of disassembling and re-assembling stuff at every stage. sm40

Ill do my best. I will write out a step by step, then take lots of pictures. I cant spend ages taking loads as I will be using a lift in a commercail garage and it maybe need. I am very lucky to get to use the lift, my old boss is great :) Perfect for getting jobs done, not so perfect for modifying/project cars.
