mk3 2.5d twin wheeler leaf spring bushes ?

[960-dave]

Hi all, my transit (1990 2.5d 190 lwb twin rear wheel beavertail truck) has failed the M.O.T. on (among other things ) the leaf spring bushes, the ones that are in the spring eye, both front and rear of each spring,

Having tried all my local motor factors and the local Main dealer, with no luck at all, looked on ebay and found f + r bushes for the rear springs, but i cannot find bushes for the front leaf springs,

Would the bushes for the rear springs fit the front springs too ? , obviously i haven't had a chance to measure any of the bushes as yet,

Or could anyone reccommend a good supplier for these bushes ?

Nearly spent every penny i have to keep the old thing on the road for another year

Thanks in advance,

Desperate of Bornemouth / Dave.

The bushes are the same as MK2, I have just got one from meandmymonkeymatt £8.25 each, they have loads of em

Thanks for the reply Muttley, but they are only listing bushes for the rear springs, these seem to be available every where, its the bushes for the front leaf springs that i can't find anywhere, or do the rear spring bushes also fit the front spring ?

Sorry mate I misread the post, I got my last lot of front ones for my mk3 from a local commercial factors. If you have no joy I can try them for you

Well to update, i bullied the parts kiddie at the local main dealer and he managed to find 6 of the 8 bushes required (all the front spring bushes and the front of the rear springs)
i ordered a pair of mk2 bushes for the rear of the rear springs from ebay (meandmymonkeymatt as suggested by Muttley) , but the bushes the sent are the same as the front (of the rear), appear to be the same outside diameter but the sleave inside is way to big for the rear shackle bolt,

Anyone know the full measurements of the rear lower shackle bushes as there are a few different ones on ebay at the mo ?
