Thread: Relocation Cones

have you got spring retainers? small strip of steel bolted across the bottom of the spring and base plate.

i use 2 little hose clamps to hold mine in,it will get you out of trouble till you get some relocating cones,mine gets enough flex being held in i havent bothered getting the cones yet

but les richmond automotive or try one of the english land rover sites to get a pic or idea where to get them

Cheers for the replies guys, I have been using cable ties to hold the springs in but they can only take so much. I have thought about using hose clamps but I thought you had to let the springs rotate?

hello this is what it looks like Terrafirma Rear spring dislocation cones | Suspension - Hardware Accessories for Land Rover Vehicles

Terrafirma Coil spring retaining plates | Suspension - Hardware Accessories for Land Rover Vehicles
and this rear spring mounts $15.50 in perth but as you are not in perth there would be plus post

I'm currently getting these brought over from Wales...
Chall Spring Locator

For my 110. Terrafirma do their standard cones, and they do a similar design to this one, but only for the 90s (understand 110 springs are wider).

I like the hook idea better than hoping the spring always catches the cone on the way back.

I like this design, as you can temporarily hitch the spring to the relocator (as seen in the how-to guide on that page) to get the wheel off the ground with a high-lift jack. With the standard cones, you would have to get the body so high off the ground (articulation limit) before you could get under the wheel...

we can get both types for 90/110 both hook and non hook same cost thank you Simon

Every little bit helps I suppose, but it would be interesting to put a set of scales under the drooping wheel to see how much weight is on the tyre once the spring has dislocated. I suspect not a lot,unless a functioning Boge levelling unit is still fitted to the vehicle.IMO without a Boge unit pushing with 500 odd kilograms of downforce on the centre of the axle, the compressed side coil spring alone is just too close to the tyre to provide an adequate fulcrum point to transfer much weight from the wheel on the compressed side over to the drooped wheel.
wagoo.

yeah Bill, but it looks cool though

i remember reading some threads on this on outerlimits, i think the outcome was to retain both ends for that very point you mentioned
