Day 52 - 28 Chev Ute Restoration (19th October 2015)

Sometimes progress can be slow, but it needs to be thorough, and this is one of those times.

No 4 spring leaves (front) have a u shape clamp riveted at each end to hold the first 4 leaves together.

On both spring all four clamps were loose, and not useable as is. The only thing to do was drill out the rivets, go through all 7 u clamps that I had to pick out the best 4 to refit with new rivets.

Next job will be to source a bolt that fits the hole with minimal clearance and turn them into rivets.
