The original front spring hangers were in a bad condition and I decided to make some new. Looked for the right bushings for a long time with no success so I had to make them too. The green plastic material is called Oilon and is intended for bushings and similar applications in tough environments. The heads on the new bolts were milled flat on one side to make sure they cannot rotate in relation to the hangers. Also added the possibility for greasing the bushings :-)
