Amazing pic of your Landy at the NYMR.
R/e logos. You can get (quite cheaply) vinyl magnetic jobbies.
Can be held up with corresponding magnets on inside of van-sides
?

Hey up,
Today in between dodging hail storms, rain and the neighbors,
we`ve mostly been filling in the many holes in our lane.

rear springs are sided. they have the same amount of leaves,
same thickness leaves, same total spring rate, but drivers side
spring has more camber (it is arched more) did you notice this
before installing them ?

Got the same amount of lean as I have with my parabolics. Thats
caused by the springs sagging

Hey up,
Darren, yeah I did notice that and I fitted them back on the
sides they came off, so could this be as Sam said the springs
sagging possibly due age as I think the`re the originals which I
took apart, cleaned up, greased and reassembled.
Cheers Chris

yeah thats fair enough. mine leans to the drivers side by 2
inches (when it should be about 3/4" higher than passenger side)
the springs are dead meat for sure

I think eventually I`ll get a pair of new springs for the rear,
for now the home made shackles will have to do. thinking back
the new springs I fitted to the front had an equal camber and
weren't handed, admittedly they are paddocks springs so can`t
expect too much I suppose.

Yes - van side aluminium - hence magnets held up on inside,
which 'clamp' to the sign on outside.
Failing that, 4 inch masonry nails, clenched over... ;D
