KugaWestie Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 I purchased a new vice which came today, so I fixed it to the bench. It was to replace the Amazon cheapo cast iron that broke in less than a week! Broken next to new  Next to my cordless drill, gives you and idea of size It is a bit of a beast  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KugaWestie Posted January 25, 2018 Author Share Posted January 25, 2018 When I collected the kit, the front dampers and springs were seperate   Sometime last week I was having a bit of a tidy up and thought "I might as well put those springs onto the dampers". So when I extended the damper and tried to put the spring on I realised why they were not on, the springs were longer than the damper when extended by around an inch or so. I had no way or facility to compress them to get them on, and was not sure if they should be compressed anyway. BUT WHAT A GREAT CLUB WE ARE! A pm exchange with @DamperMan confirmed that preload on the springs happens a lot. He very kindly offered to fit the springs for me, which he has done and I collected them tonight  Many thanks Tony @DamperMan, very much appreciated  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
