I'm having a heck of a time finding spray paint to repaint my 1974 TR6's
steel wheels. All I seem to find that's remotely close (in cans) is that
bright silver aluminum. I'm also looking for a "cast-iron" color to paint
some of my other parts but have had no luck finding it. I glass-beaded my
intake manifold (gotta thank my brother for buying that machine!) and was
told there is a good satin clear coat I can put on it but I sure don't see
it locally. Obviously yellowing due to heat/petroleum/exposure would not be
a good thing..
Thanks for any help

Subject: Re: Rear Springs
Jim---I have found rear spring removal to be as Irv suggests. Turning
the rear hub (U-joint) to a spot where the axle drops to its lowest
limit should provide enough clearance to remove the spring. (Sometimes a
little help from a large screwdriver comes in handy.) There should be
very little, if any, compression left in the spring at this point.
I don't recall if the stock springs are longer than the ones I use. If
so, you may have to use Plan B.
