rear springs removal and body floor

[Howard Wright]

but are they round or are they stamped hexagonal? I thought I'd seen the latter...

Hi Jon

Given the likelihood of the body being placed directly over an hexagonal hole such that the bolt can be driven up through it, my money is on the original hole in the floor pan being round and a bit oversized.

Obviously the hole in the chassis must be hexagonal to ensure the nut can be undone!

Sparky..

Lifting the body sufficiently to remove a U bolt is achievable. I had to do this on my RK as the previous owner had fabricated his own U bolts which looked decidedly unsafe. I also had to drill holes in the floor pan   which had been patch repaired to cover the original holes.

Cheers
