I am now prepared to replace the rear suspension on my '75 TR6, and wish
to thank everyone on the list that has taught me along the way.  Before
the surgery begins, I was wondering if it matters whether you place the
aluminum spacer on the top of the stock springs facing the bridge, or on
the bottom toward the trailing arm???  There will of course be some
stock rubber collars placed in contact with the bridge and the trailing
arm.

Any other last minute recs about reinstalling the brackets, trailing
arms, half-axles, springs, rubber collars, spacers, bumps, shims and
bolt directions would  also be appreciated.   Or should we be content
with "Reassemble in Reverse!?"

I have purchased some Anti-Seize to use  at various places.

Thanks again for your help. I hope to have my '75 TR6 bouncing along
happily in the New Year!!!   D. Michael
