Mk1 front bush help. Motorhome CI

Postby Viva_65 » Wed Jan 08, 2025 1:04 pm

Hello Guys

Long time reader first time posting, I bought this mk1 back in August some of you may of seen it on ebay. Shes been a good truck it made it down to Spain with just some electrical issues.

I hope the photos uploaded but can someone please help me figure out what front leaf bushes i need, Ive taken the old out to measure but some numbers i see are conflicting with whats online. The sleeve on the shackle does not appear to come off. Ive found 2 sources where to buy these but if someone can help confirm i would very much appriciate. I will share a proper post soon about the camper as i do plan a engine swap. Thankyou in advance

Ahh i think my photos have been taken down. Yes i have seen these but there are 3 different sizes on the internet. The transit is a mk1 1977 disk brakes, i think its closer to a mk2 setup than a mk1. my shackle measure 15mm diameter but that option of bush measure too wide for the width of my spring. I guess i can always cut them down.
