Cut 5mm from the diameter of the lower isolator with a pair of sharp tin snips, then pare off any raggy ends with some coarse production paper.
Job done, now fit the isolators to the arm without the spring fitted, then when you're ready to fit the springs once everything is back on the car, then simply push the spring onto the isolator.
I fitted the rubbers with a good dollop of Renolit Red rubber grease smeared liberally onto the spring cup, and lined up the holes in the arm with the cutout in the isolators.
This apart from providing some lubrication to ease assembly, also stops water creeping between the pad and spring cup.
The ARB drop link bracket, and spring cup centres are in the same position relative to the outer and inner fastenings of the originals, it's just Bernie and Leepu didn't stamp the pressings in the right place.....the oval hole and spring cup are 10mm further outboard than they should be
