mk2 leaf springs and bushers

Postby JIM T » Sat Jun 21, 2008 12:39 pm

Hi there everyone I have a question about leaf springs on my mk 2 Transit ford Hymer ,can someone tell me what mark transit will fit as replacements on the mk2 i.e mk 3 mk 4 mk 5 and so on,and is there any modification to do.The hymer flew through the MOT with the remark from the tester '' I CAR'T FIND A THING WRONG AND I'VE HAD A GOOD LOOK'' ,be before the test I had to trim around a spring bush it was bulging out ,I have look on the net for knew bushers but had no look so is there any one out there that can help cheers from JIM T. :)

Hi there ,I emailed a spring maker and the replie was to send him some mesurment and he would have a look, but the problem is when I take the spring off to mesure it I would like to have one their and then to fit back on .Last night I found one on EBAY I bought it there and then I JUST HOPE IT FITS ,the seller sold it has mk1 -mk3 but I have been told that a mk 3 bush will not fit, so its all up in the air until it comes ,Cheers mate :)

should fit,,, however petrol and diesel fronts are tempered differant they look the same but if its an early petrol and you have a di in yours it will give it the dragster look :roll: ebay is a risk with springs :!: try rossendale road springs if he has none he can re con yours

Don't know about rosendale, but there are 2 spring suppliers in the supplier's listing.
