<VV> Front spring swap/question on cut springs

[sethracer at aol.com]

All late Corvairs used the spring "rubbers" - but only on the rear coils. The fronts used a rubber bumper over the shaft of the front shock as a last-chance spring addition.
If you lower the front of the car very much, it is worth trimming these a bit before installation.

What the rubber vibration insulator used for the coil spring? Was it on ALL
odel Corvairs, or just the luxurious, top-of-the-line Monzas?
