Help! wrote a long item in 'restoration' but saved it to find the photo! lost everything so thought I would just test with the photo. If folk can see it I will explain all. Apologies my very ancient (84 yrs!)brain is not up to all this photo malarky !!
More grovelling, the photo appears to have worked ( but X 3 )
This is my first task on my 'new' Traveller .( NCA 510 G ) Its just the rear hanger of the LH real spring, the front hanger has a new repair hanger and floor. I plan to buy the repair panel from ESM and to combine its fitting with a repair to the inner arch.
Having the front attachment in place should help maintain location and I plan to mark some datum points further up on the inner wing before I hack out the old hanger fitment. possibly I can weld my inner wing repair panel to the ESM fitting first ?
Your advice will be much appreciated.

the rear hanger is not as important as the front one which determines the axle location, get the shackle pin hole in the same place fore and aft relative to the front and both the same height and it will be fine.
That said when I did ours I took many measurements for the original rear spring front eyes and one was 12mm further back than the other relative to the front axle centre line ...
