Rear leaf Spring rubbers

Postby vana mana » Wed Sep 19, 2018 8:43 am

Ok
So. Think I've finally found a set of rear leaf springs for my Amby camper
But I've noticed they are missing a rubber on one end that sits I between the leaf springs

So are these bits available from new / do you need them for mot / is there a substitute
One of the leaf springs has cut outs on them - So I suppose that's where the rubber slots onto ?

Is there an official name for these ?

Any help always appreciated

Thank you

Would help if you told us what vehicle you have.....just saying it's an "Amby Camper" doesn't help much..!!
Mk1...or... Mk8....or anything in between.???

Sorry
Rear leaf springs are multi leaf 3 in total main 2 are joine at one end with bracket but each rend should have these bits of rubber
I have 3 but they are looking a bit past it
The rear leaf springs are of a mk3
I'm thinking just find some thick circular rubber tube and adapt ?

Not available separately, you may need to find some at a breakers.
