Postby caldwelld » Fri Apr 29, 2016 12:49 am

Hi , I have dismantled my ford transit mk1 1977 campervan for restoration.I am now putting it back on its wheels again. The front and rear spring shackles are two different sizes and i cant remember which size goes front or back.Would appreciate your help.

My mk 1 has slipper rear springs,so no rear shackles.Front spring shackle is 3 inch centre to centre.The rear looks longer in my manual.
