Sorry tech term! A PK is a self tapping metal screw. Basically make an L shaped bracket to hold the spring in place and screw it to the side of the sub frame tower

Mini's are like buses they come along in a bunch

If you have to run springs, look at 2A4267C for the front. Take a look at CSRP015 for the rear.

First do you have the droop stops in place? If so fabricate a small tab and PK it across the spring into the subframe?

Edit, or put the rubber cones back where they belong?

Help !! I just installed hi-lo spring sets, new shocks on my 72 Mini. I lowered it in the front to a desired height which is the minimum on the suspension and in the back I have 1 inch of thread on the push rod. Problem: every time I jack up the car to do something the front springs move from their location and when lowering I have to maneuver to hold them in their place manually to lower the car of the jack. It is a bit cumbersome and dangerous. Any suggestions or solutions? with much appreciation.
