Evening
Poking around my 90 today and found that the springs have labels on to identify them
Its got OME 751 on the front and 762 on the back. The back site higher than the front, but i assume that as it had a roof tent at one point they are heavy duty ones.
They look really manky as the paint has started to fall of them.
Its got OME shocks aswell but they have been covered in waxoil so also look horrid.
Anyone know of a good way to remove waxoil, and whats good to paint springs with.
-
Waxoil can be cleaned off with tar and glue remover (like white spirit, but weaker) which is avalible from Halfords
:D
-
White spirits much cheaper though and won't damage the paint :lol:
-
Paint will always come off springs because they work by twisting. I'd waxoil them or just leave them uncovered.
