Today we fitted the cross member, springs etc and put it up into the car. I was only able to get Alpine A110 axle straps which are about 40mm shorter than original however I was told by the supplier they are good with a car on 13 inch wheels. These shorter straps also gave trouble as the spring needs to be compressed further to fit the straps. Another replacement part that gave trouble were the side the mounts. The rubber is different and you can't get the nuts on easily because for the larger rubber fitted. However with the problems of fitting some of the parts its all completed now.
All 3 mounts replaced.
Spring compressed off the car then the inner tied with fencing wire
to hold it and inner compressor removed prior to fitting.
Spring compressor needed a helping hand.
All together and ready to be fitted to the car.
Fitted in the car with some degree of difficulty.
