Rob,
Are you sure the spring you=E2=80=99ve got is the correct length? What you =
describe seems more than a bit unusual. It=E2=80=99s so long since I=E2=80=
=99ve had my head in a TR footwell, I can=E2=80=99t remember how the spring=
was attached to the body. Can others enlighten us/me with a pic or two of =
their own cars?
