Retaining clips/springs arrived and I've at last rebuilt one side & drum is back on. Thanks Viatron, they certainly were easy to put on.
Have removed the top four leaves on the spring ... didn't need the extra long studs after all ... The shockers now fit easier.
Tomorrow I should be able to get the rear end all back together & have the Old Girl staning on her own back wheels again. Then I can ter her around & start on the front. That is all IF the current wife doesn't have other ideas
