i did this mod and my old jago changed to mk2 from mk1 and found the hangers r smaller on the mk1 so u would have to warm the hangers up and spread then as the lear springs on mk2 r wider

Better to use mk2 hangers. Because they are accurately made they put less strain on your bushes. Should be cheep to buy so not worth the effort of bending your mk1's

New, solves the rear shackle problem, but either the original hangers on the chassis to which the front of the spring connects either needs bending or has to be fabricated and welded in place.

it looks like the chassis end just wants heating up and strightning the other end i will fabricate myself as i have a good welder of my own and feel compotent,the original springs on there are shot.
