Thanks Mate. My u bolts are exactly same size as yours. This sided thing has got me stumped now though, both my Springs look exactly the same, it s the difference in the bow just slight or is it noticeable ? as can't tell with mine.Checked today...11 leaf and have two u-bolt lengths 20cm on rear springs and18.5cm on front but one of the fronts was a 20cm its a factory diesel S2...
Thanks Never thought of that Mate.Put a straight edge or string across the top of the springs and measure gap down to bow of spring see what difference you get larger gap is drivers side..
Cheers havnt offered it up yet to try but think your right,I would hazard a guess you use the bottom hole, as top hole may allow spring safety leaf to hit the underside of the chassis?
If you look on Paddocks site they list only 2 type of bolt flat top or rounded for petrol or diesel but the ones I have here are round top but different sizes I think they are original as it spent most of it's life in Africa and the Canaries before here in Portugal everything looks original and rust free...Sorted well just about, my local landy specialist gave me some longer ones, the 3 rounded ones fit perfect, but the flat top longer one was still to short, hope he has a longer one of these tomorrow.
