Changing Springs
rustprooflandyracer:
I have got fed up with my two leaf rear parabolics as they are too weak, even a 50 kg load makes the rear sit down, so I decided to kindly write an email to Mr Perfect stressing my issue of this problem and that I have already had to up grade my shocks for better ones. So he is exchanging my old ones for new ones with a small cost...
Just how easy is it to change rear leafs when the vehicle is full built up as the last time I did it was when it was a rolling chassis.
Cheers Matt
Litch:
Easy, in fact that is when most are changed.
Although I sold my S111 a long time ago now I played around with the springs quite a bit and I remember that a small jack between the chassis and the rear eye was very handy for stretching the spring into position.

piece'o' cake :lol:
Neil Jones:
It's really easy, have changed many in the road outside my house before.
If you fitted the originals to a rolling chassis did you pre-load them correctly? Make sure these are.
rustprooflandyracer:
To preload them you basically just do not do up the u bolts tightly then rock the body and let is stand before tightening them up to correct torque.
