The distance between the hanger on the FE is 2 1/8, then EH springs are 2 1/4. the bushes could be cut down ok, eh.

Thanks Guys I thought the OD was OK was just not sure of the ID ...I can part them off no problems ...I have a spare front bolt somewhere if I could only remember where so I can check measure it ...Since the shackels rubbers are the same front and rear I guess I could just measure a rear shackle  to get the measurement  Shocked Shocked......FC427.....

Fitted one side of the modified EH front bush to car and worked out great the bush had to be turned down in overall length to 2.290 and the piece that presses in to the spring 2.000 ..I think these will outlast the standard shackle rubbers by years .......FC427.....
