Next up. The front. The spring pin sent was a 60 series (or maybe the Aussie 45s had these) but as y’all know the front of a 45 is a 40.
Luckily I had a full set of spring pins and shackles and most importantly bushings.
You need 15mm bushings with the big eyes like a 40.
IMS are a tight fit but they fit and even though they send 4 of the same length, the 4” of shaft showing at full droop is enough for the uptravel needs.

I set the toe with my new toe plates. Also the front shackles provided were 18mm FJ60 style like the rear but the 45s need 40 series. I had some greasable stock style here and put them on.
