Meanwhile .in a bunker in the Scottish hills..'the devil makes work for idle hands'
Happiness is having a back up.. nothing like a full stack of spare wheels with new premium rubber!
I got them from an eBay seller who does a refurb for around £1,300 ish then I had them done in metallic graphite
Screw fix..No, sorry….I meant the hooks for hanging them on the garage wall…
The light has really caught the curves of the body..nice…
Not so sure about the red calipers…
So left hand spring had snapped.
Garage is having difficulty getting the ride heights set.
Went out with new springs with plenty of wheel arch for a 20 mile potter as they asked me to see how it felt to me.
Much much better..maybe a tad too firm but not outrageously so..of course should tweak the damping to suit the new spring rate.
In a world devoid of limitations probably best to try a 88nm/mm versus this at 96nm/mm vs stock of 70nm/mm.
However it felt much better, less roll, still rode small bumps OK, no bottoming out.
So they'll try and jack the fronts to get with 5mm-10mm.
I'll be taking it off the road soon so will mess around..
May leave it till the first NC500 in March as that's the ultimate test of suspension and handling.

Look like a tight fit?

Jawohl, mein Führer!You need to get that cable on the left tidied up.
Picked up the car today after new springs and front arb drop look re attached!
The ride was much firmer..but not unpleasant …so much much better.
Some adjustment required on ride heights required…
But the ride ..it was so so good..
Even better after setting both dampers at +8..one was +9 the other +14..
I guess the Ohlins springs were tired ..30k of hooning takes its toll, a well nourished tele tubby as a driver..roof in boot..full size spare wheel..
Plus one set of springs for the whole range..
