Spring is here,so i've fitted it to the Sierra,

Yes i've fitted the new spring today,managed to get around the seen and unforseen snags of replacing a multileaf spring with a monoleaf , the thing that disappointed me though was that the polybushes that had been fitted to the multileaf springs don't fit the monoleafs, luckily i have enough rubber bushes to get by. So now i need to do the other side as soon as i can.

Sticking on your mudguards

Dave My mud guards are stuck on with stikaflex been over the 100 mph with no problems. The top part of the stay is formed in 6mm rod, after the bend it goes down inside tube. I put a bead on top of the rod and bedded the mud guard down and then I put some on the underside of the bar, I then smothed it all in together right round the bar.  I would also give the thumbs up for the badge in white wth blue and red lines.

removing suspension bushes

Items for AGM inclusion

Last year i asked for some items for the agm and brought a small list with me.
