What are these around my Rear Coils? by carlpenn


carlpenn
Sorry, haven't been able to get a Photograph.

Basically I have a Black "Collar" on each of my Rear Coils Springs, they are like a ring but follow the shape of the coil, just for one full circle.

I haven't seen these on any of my other 75's and couldn't see them listed on Rimmers? So just curious really.

They are not Rover parts. They are spring assisters for towing a Caravan. I'll find a link and come back.

Thanks Duncan :)

I can whip them off then, as I won't be towing anything :p

It's the forum that does that, not me. I typed car a van, as I guess you did.

Mick finds it funny, though!

Would having these make a huge difference when towing a caravan?

(see how I got round the filter there! ;) )

Keep it quiet, you will have Mick barring caravan in the database. :-o .
