Hi All,
I have started the process of rebuilding my front suspension (the first time I
am actually putting something together instead of tearing it apart!) and have a
couple of questions. First, Does anyone know how I can compress the coil
springs? All of the spring compressors that I have looked at are too big to fit
up inside of the spring through the hole in the lower link. Also, the coil
springs have some sort of black coating on them. Is this coating going to just
fall off as soon as I start stressing the springs? The springs were purchased
through Victoria British so probably it's just some cheap paint but hey you
never know. If it is just cheap paint should I remove this coating and put
something on that can take the flexing that a spring goes through? Does anything
like that exist?
On another note, from my readings it appears that the U.N.F. and U.N.C.
fasteners used on my Series III are compatible with standard U.S. fine and
course threads. Is this correct?
Thanks,
Kurt Eckert
