Leaf spring eyelet measurements

Post by 340GLT »

Hi guys if some of you have tried to get hold of leaf spring bushes you will know they are no longer available. So as this is teh case i am trying to source some poly ones, does anyone have a spare laef spring they can measure the size of the eyelet on for me? I need bore diameter and length of bore (width of leaf spring)
Any help would be much appreciated!!!
Cheers Adam

No dimensions here mate, but I'm wondering what the rationale is....are you still trying to cute the 'clonk' in reverse gear? I ask because Nessy has exactly the same noise - I think we've probably talked about it before actually. When you fix it....tell me which bushing it was sm56

cheers
