No VIN for it unfortunately, I have the reg though so could find it out from that maybe?
Swift carb is single choke, SJ carb is twin choke by the looks of things. So totally different.
Today, I starter the RUF conversion. Eying up rear springs to the front, it looked like they'd go straight on pretty much. Front shackles would have pushed forward a wee bit, but couldn't see much need for relocating the mounts etc.
Started removing the old springs, and got totally stuck on one of the rear hangers. Bolt spings, but will not come out. The inner steel tube, has obviously sized to the bolt, and is spinning inside the bush. So absolutely no chance in hell of getting it out without butchering the whole lot.
While the bush is still good, I decided to leave that, and just chop the rear springs to sit them under the front top spring.
I fitted the two top springs from the rear pack, to the top spring of the front pack, giving 3 leafs in total, either side.
Could probably squeeze a 4th on there with the threads left, but it started to rain, so left it at that.
Need to lift the rear a bit now too, as it's sitting high up front. I think a set of new rear springs will sort that out though.
I am also hoping the front springs will settle, and sit together, as there as a gap at the front of each upper leaf atm.
