Can't put it off any longer...gotta install my trunk springs. Knowing what they did when I removed them, I've got great respect for their potential to do bodily harm. Nevertheless, I'm at a loss for an installation procedure. Pelican parts has a procedure that involves fabbing a tool out of 2" round stock - lots of machine work.
If it comes down to that, I suppose I could do it, but I suspect some inventive soul out there has an ingeniously simple solution that they'd like to share. Anybody? Thanks. Tom |
