Problem solved. Next problem is I don't know where these springs came from. They appear to be the same size and tension as Wecohe Tiger 1/Panther Corleis springs, but they are 6 right and 6 left. Anyhow, they fit like a glove. Perhaps from a P3 suspension system of some kind?

Also, looked on Mitosal sight and they do offer a Corleis suspension for the KV. However, I can not tell from the photo if the springs are for right and left. Mayhap someone can email them and find out.
My KV-2 has uses the asiatam lower hull... the Corleis suspension upgrade seems a tad expensive after already investing in metal. Is it worth it??

As it came, the torsion bars on a few axles were a bit slack, especially at the rear.. that required some careful, manual 'tweaking', ie bending them backwards. So far, so good!
