Beans Posted June 30, 2017 Author Share Posted June 30, 2017 Looks like Photobucket is desperately trying to get out of business.They are trying to make me pay $400 to use their “services”!So not much hope it is just a temporary message because the bandwidth limit was succeeded Needles to say the search for another photo hosting site is on.I do have the intention of restoring my weblog, but that will take a fair amount of time.So patience please (shrug)But the pictures I posted on this forum over the years, will probably be lost.Thank Photobucket for that ...(unhappy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorkshire_spam Posted November 29, 2017 Share Posted November 29, 2017 Do the springs galvanize ok? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted November 29, 2017 Author Share Posted November 29, 2017 No problems. Used the same method for the parts (including some springs) for the DHC.That car has been back on the road since 2010 and the galvanised spring still look OK.

Do you have to expand/stretch the tension springs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 1, 2017 Author Share Posted December 1, 2017 For these spring parts an electrolytic galvanizing process was used.So no high temperatures involved here. So the spring rates are not affected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
