I used urethane bushes for the Panhard rod ... didn't want to do that
job twice.

<p class="MsoNormal">OK, so I am very familiar with
Bugeyes. It is no problem attaching the differential to a
quarter elliptical leaf spring. Today I finished the
installation of the leaf springs on my BN2 and with the
help of my son we muscled the differential (with the
pumpkin) kind of in place above the two frame rails.Â
Excuse my ignorance, but what is the procedure to bring
the attachment point on the axle in contact with the
center of the leaf spring? As it sits right now I am
having a tough time figuring this out. Do I jack up the
center of the leaf spring with a jack until the u-bolt can
get the nuts started? When I got this basket case, the
rear end was held in with a come-a-long and the leaf
springs were gone, by just cutting them off with a torch.Â
No experience here guys. Just a suggestion or two would
be great.<o:p></o:p></p>
