OK, so I am very familiar with Bugeyes.  It is no problem attaching the differential to a quarter elliptical leaf spring.  Today I finished the installation of the leaf springs on my BN2 and with the help of my son we muscled the differential (with the pumpkin) kind of in place above the two frame rails.  Excuse my ignorance, but what is the procedure to bring the attachment point on the axle in contact with the center of the leaf spring?  As it sits right now I am having a tough time figuring this out.  Do I jack up the center of the leaf spring with a jack until the u-bolt can get the nuts started?  When I got this basket case, the rear end was held in with a come-a-long  and the leaf springs were gone, by just cutting them off with a torch.  No experience here guys.  Just a suggestion or two would be great.Mike MacLean
