	ok so going to fit blocks to my new p100, undone all the u bolt nuts no probs, one u bolts came off fine, but the other one is stuck solid in the bottom plate. Also cant undo the bolt on the locating pin either. my question is does anyone know if i cut the u bolt off the botton bracket will fall come off or do i need to undo the locating pin bolt first. i know on caddy you don't have to get the nut off, but no idea on old fords and don't want to be stuck with no u bolt and bracket stuck in place lol. thanksyou

	The nut holds the spring leaves together, it passes through the bottom mount without undoing it.

	great stuff, i though it did, but didnt want to risk just incase, just need to find some xxx-long u bolts now as the extra long ones are too short with 2 inch blocks and all the leaves. cheers for the info mate

	I think 4x4 transit van ones are pretty long, probably not easy to find though.
	Volvo back as my main squeeze, more boost and some interior goodies on the way.
