Are mk1 front leafs still available?

[Viva_65]

Hello

I had my leafs off the other dayon my 77 mk1 ci motorhome to do the engine swap. And i found that the front bushed on left and right spring are different sizes.

I have wanted to raise the front for a while to get better clearance on the belly, i kitesurf allot and often end up down tracks i probably shouldnt.

I was looking at getting mine re arched but as they look like a mis match pair i should probably start new if im goingnto spend the money re arching the pair to get the lift.

So if anyone has supplier or part numbers. Mine are the single parabolic leaf.

Or share any experienced if you have raising something like a mk1 on a solid beam axle.

The rear i will put airbags but i have been advised thats a big no on the front.

There are people here that can answer this question . not here to answer though, perhaps they are gone along with their vans

i would like to help

im sure there is a dedicated source for parts diagrams for the mk1 .. which i cant find..they seem to come and go
this would help you most

a parts manual

https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/157852236959?

the only trouble is that the numbers today are all 7 digit part numbers .. and back there in the past they were any number of digits

and our go to parts catalogue catcar.info... only goes back to the mk3

all the best.mark

If you’re is petrol you can fit the spacer and you bolts from a diesel it gives a slight increase or you could get some larger ones made
but before you try to find the spacers check your van hasn’t already got them as im not sure if they did fit them to later mk 1 vans

Sorry yeah forgot to say it is an original bullnose and had the york engine

Ive now got the 2.5 di turbo 85ps.

But yeah it has these blocks already fitted. 1 leaf must of been replaced at some part in its life so it would not suprise me if thaere just old now. I will see how much a custom set will be as it seems th safest option rather than using mpre blocks

Good shout on the catalogue i will ask if they have the diesel listed in that

I would try midland springs or Owen Springs for new springs
