[ROVERNET - UK] P6 Front Suspension

[Tom Trafton]

Hi Paul

Yes I would be very much interested in knowing how you used a normal spring
compressor.  I tried two different types but there was insufficient room to
use the compressor.  Send the photos to v8rover at earthlink.net and thanks in
advance for the help.

Cheers,

Tom
