Spring Compressor Loan

[ukkid35]

Does anyone within (or near) the M25 have a spring compressor I can borrow? I bought a pair of Laser 2779 Coil Spring Compressors, but they simply don't fit as they are too large for the Cerb springs.

TIA

I have a pair in Dorking but go to SW15/18/6/7 on a regular basis.

If you wind the collar to full low, do you even need them?

Unfortunately the AVO's grub screw is not going anywhere, so the collar isn't moving either. The plan is to transfer the original Eibachs to the new Protechs, so a compressor is going to be invaluable.

Bummer.. Tried some careful localised heat/PlusGas (or similar)?

I got some Paul, so can pop them over tomorrow night?

I haven't uncompressed the springs yet, so I know what lengths to set the Nitrons when they arrive, but I couldn't get the fingers between the spring coils at the length mine were set.

I have a set that you can pick up from Romford in Essex if needed - but not until Saturday as I could give them to my Father in Law on Friday night when I see him

best to use this type, as you get no marks or damage
and is also quite easy to make one if you are poor like me

Thanks everyone for your help, I've arranged to borrow Peter's this weekend. Much appreciated!
