Pain of a job but essential… now to use him for a few months.
Other plans though for the spring will be changing tyres to 7.5’s, i,saw a few restored 2A’s at a car show and they look much better. Also thinking new springs in the rear. I’m sure Sid was a site breakdown truck and compared to other LWB I’ve seen , he sits s a lot higher. And bounces a lot. Wondering if he has uprated springs.
From memory (and hopefully JDNSW will come along soon and confirm this) - there are standard and heavy duty springs. I think that the HD ones just have more leaf’s.
