Spring Guiding Cones

Post by SoldierBoy1 »

Can someone tell me where I can get a set of Cones for a Disco, as I now require them to stop my springs from coming out of their set at full stretch.

I have retained the springs in the rear of my classic rangie at the top and made the cones up for the bottom as i had them retained top and bottom but kept breaking the retainers.

....Or you can use hose clamps. I used some big arse ones and so far they haven't broken. I also haven't got massive long travel shocks either :roll:
