, trouble is i can only get 3 out of the 8 springs to fit . ive welded up
a spring puller and even using that tool with the springs fully compressed they
are about 1/4" ( 5mm ) too short to reach over the tangs. europa refered me
to the manufacturer - they tell me that the springs should be fitted with the
pipe off the cylinder head , and then lever the pipe in to place - it sounds
like a potch . has any one any light to throw on this as leavering a pipe with
2 springs on it against alloy sounds like a nice set of gouge marks at the end
.

Steve,
What worked for me was to insert the springs, before pulling the tubes
into the sockets. Obviously, this must be done before mounting the
exhaust, but it was really pretty simple. Good luck...
