    I've heard that there's an investigation going on at the airport into these straps going missing all the time.

    I'll forward them a link to this thread..........

    How many per spring ?

    Have two Tridon ones per spring assy ATM (and am expecting them to break soon) as it isn't quite as straight forward as a simple bracket to retain the 130 twin spring setup.

    yeah I don't want relocation cones though.....I want to keep the car as standard looking as possible, I doubt they would be legal would they?

    I would hate to get pulled over only to find not really supposed to have them fitted.

    I don't know I suppose it would answer my problem but would prefer to just anchor the spring in really.........there bloody noisy too when off road

    Having relocation cones in as such isn't illegal. I'm pretty sure the Defender came from the factory with retaining clamps didn't it? What I thought the RTA said (they are now very very vague), and the NCOP does say the suspension must be retained by the original method employed by the manufacturer.

    Isn't a relocation cone a bit different to a clamp

    Yep.

    In a standard setup the clamp is superflous anyway as the spring is kept captive by the travel allowed from the shock. As long as that setup exists and it keeps the spring captive, then its irrelevant if you have relocation cones or retainers. It's not illegal to have them, you're just not allowed to change the spring retaining method that the factory used.
