Garden gate spring covers

Forums

I have a new set of springs and covers from RGM (great service!) Question is, do the covers with the bigger holes in their ends go on the top or bottom springs?

Hi Andy

The black covers with the big holes go on top of the bottom spring.

The chrome covers with the big hole go on the bottom of the top spring.

The hole is bigger to allow the sliding plunger to fit into. The smaller holes only needs the main pin to go though.

Well that's how they fitted on my Model 7.

Thanks Paul. I have just refitted the left side springs and covers. Just the central fin to refit then the right side set. Progress!
