I think you were joking, but for those who want a tip, you just attach the springs to the HShield first let them hang, install HS, and then attach the springs to the carb levers last. easy as pie. j

My car came with quite a few sins from a number of previous owners. Most are laborious but fixable... it’s this full bondo’d dash that is causing me some heartburn.

I pulled apart my limited slip diff because it seemed unusually loose for something that was intended to be bullt up with preload from internal springs and friction discs.

Upon opening I learned why...where I was expecting to find a set of Belleville springs, I found a complete set of...ummm...let’s say homemade shims?

There were 4 Miller Lite and 4 Budweiser shims per side, precision cut with what I am fairly certain were gardening shears. Why would you use shim stock or something durable when cheap aluminum rolled stock is so close to hand?

Not genuine Nissan...
