You can only install the saddle/spring together when you have the bolt in type compressor, both other types of compressors I would imagine would have to be separate. I'm still a big advocate of paying the $50 and getting a bolt in style.

The end of the spring should nest up against the tab on the saddle that you are referring to.

WOOHOO!!!! It's back on its wheels! For a little while at least, all of the suspension is on and the front brake lines are plumbed. All I have left is to plumb the proportioning valve into the back line, and then I can start bleeding the system (so the wheels will come off again =( ).

I did get a couple extra toys with my latest order from MU, the total was getting close to $300 and free shipping so it would have been crazy not to up the order and get free shipping......right?

New armrest pads:

New door sill covers:

And new montecarlo bar:

That looks great. What front springs did you go with and what brake setup is that?

People said the same thing about the fender clearance on mine, but didn't realize it didn't have an engine in it. His doesn't have an engine either.

The brake setup is the KH style kit from discbrakeswap. I ordered it through Dazed. $525!!
