3. Re: Spit rear road spring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 19:55:19 -0500; Martin, I appreciate your response -- nice to know its not just me.

The only difference that is obvious in either s; /html/triumphs/1997-12/msg01179.html (9,860 bytes)

I think the wise thing to do is wait a little while and see if any more "sage advice" comes to light.

Re: Spit rear road spring (score: 1): Author: Unknown; Date: Mon, 22 Dec 1997 20:58:14 -0500; Joe, Along with anxiously awaiting learned advice from the 45 and over crowd, I have attempted to contact the PO for an historical perspective.
