Could you have put the front axle spring on the front axle, but effectively the front loop at the back and vice versa, if you understand what I'm saying? Or am I talking crap?

I totally agree with Jordi, for that price they need to help you sort it out.
I'm not too sure what you mean, it's me having a blonde moment :lol:. but yeah after I've got my zuk sorted it would be good to meet some of you guys.

I am highly offended by that! I think Sir that you are a southerner to me :hahaha:

I get where your coming from ladaman, presume you mean the bolt for tieing the pack together and locating the axle. I don't think its position would make any difference, seems to be a spring length issue.

A lot of the lads are from the dorset / wiltshire area.

Few scattered along the south coast into london and essex. A handful of us in the north east/yorks/lincs and a few over cumbria way.

Think theres a few up Scotch too.

Just about everybody is a "Southerner" compared to you!! :hahaha:

Yeah the pin that ties the spring pack together. I know what you mean by spring length. I'm just going to have a quiet moment while I think if it matters or not. :er:

I don't think it matters. Spring length is still the same. All that would affect is the axle position. I can't imagine an aftermarket kit positioning the axle anywhere but centre.

To answer your last post hes usually out around shearing season. Always wears wellies too so i heard. :hahaha:

I know Scottie wants to make the Wagtail weekend an annual thing.
There's three ways of doing things:

The right way,
The wrong way
And my way, which is like the wrong way but faster.
