Today in a few hours I fitted new bushes to the front springs, cleaned off the surface coating of Rust Buster in preparation for painting. During this process I discovered the brackets on no 4 leaf are loose and will require further attention, which will delay the painting of the front springs by a few days.
A few pictures are below.
Replacement bushes for the front and rear springs are 9/16" ID x 3/4" OD x 1 3/4" length.
Whether you press the bushes in or open up the eye slightly with a screw driver then tap them in with a plastic mallet, the key point is not to damage the end of the bush by using a hammer or such.
On both springs the outer brackets, the ones with the holes are all loose on the rivet, and will require attention.
