Has a pattern of breakages been observed? By which I mean is there, or are there specific manufacturing periods that have gone on to exhibit front spring failures?

All my 75s have been 51, 03 and 53 reg Tourers. I must have driven 100k+ miles and never had a broken spring.

Does anywhere still do just the bolts ? As mt protectors didn't come with them.

I secured mine with a stainless bolt and nylock nut, I deemed this more secure than the supplied bolts gaining purchase on just the lower plate...

There is a set on eBay at the moment, the write up says there was a re-call on 2004/2005 cars.

Thought it was earlier cars. There is an advisory with chassis numbers and I think it goes up to 2002?? could be wrong.

Looks like mine is out of the woods then. Wouldn't harm to fit a pair though.
