Repairing spring hanger areas?! posts / photos needed!

Post by Supercharged Nat »

Afternoon everyone, its been a long time since ive been on here, but im happy to say the capri resto is now beginning again :D

while shes been sat there more things have rusted away :roll: the leaf spring hanger sections (front) have rotted into nothing, i can get my whole hand in there :o I know CCI do repair sections but ive no idea how to go about the repairs, or what its even supposed to look like in there?

can anyone point to peoples resto threads with these areas covered? photos etc would be good too.

It's good to be back! :beer:
