The ones I see on E-Bay don't look right, they look like they must attach at the top and bottom of the spring, which will not work. Am I missing something here? Thanks, Walt

I put a pair of NOS ones on my 47 last year. It took about 2 hrs, and really was not that bad! Page 3-2 & 3-3 in the shop manual. I can email you the pages if you dont have a manual?
