I appreciate taking the time to get the measurements for me. Very nice car you have there and I am partial to green myself.

a spreader would have been useful but how would one work with reverse eyes?

Since a spring spreader relies on the spring eyes being on the bottom of the spring to capture the ends of the spreader, a spreader is useless on springs with reversed eyes.
This is where necessity becomes the mother of inventions....:cool:

Make some blocks that can be bolted to both sides of the spring, against the reversed eye - you then have an attachment point for the spreader on the bottom of the spring. Joe
